How to remove bleach stains from clothes with two tips

 

  1. Test the Color:
    • Test the fabric paint or marker on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment to ensure it matches the color.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
