Can you explain why and how this works?
Also does it work on Chlorine?

Chlorine and Chioramine are oxidants. The sugars in molasses act through chemical reduction as antioxidants to neutralize the Chlorine and Chioramine. Other chemical compounds will do the same thing, like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
With molasses you get two birds with one stone. Neat trick.
