How to remove bleach stains from clothes with two tips
- Test the Color:
- Test the fabric paint or marker on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment to ensure it matches the color.
- Apply the Paint or Marker:
- Lay the garment flat on an old towel or drop cloth.
- If using a fabric marker, carefully color over the bleach stain, blending with the surrounding fabric.
- If using fabric paint, dip the small paintbrush into the paint and carefully apply it to the bleach stain, blending with the surrounding fabric. Use light, even strokes to avoid clumping.
- Dry and Set the Paint:
- Allow the paint or marker to dry completely according to the product instructions.
- Heat-set the paint if required by the manufacturer (usually by ironing the reverse side of the painted area).
Additional Tips:
- Prevention: In the future, avoid bleach contact with clothing by wearing old clothes or protective gear when using bleach.
- Color Match: Getting an exact color match can be challenging. It’s often easier with darker fabrics or multi-colored patterns where slight variations are less noticeable.
- Professional Help: For valuable or highly sentimental garments, consider seeking professional help from a tailor or dry cleaner who might offer fabric restoration services.
These methods can help minimize the visibility of bleach stains and restore the appearance of your clothes.
