Bleach stains on clothes can be challenging to deal with, but there are a couple of methods you can try to minimize or even remove them. Here are two tips that might help:
Tip 1: Fabric Dye
Materials Needed:
- Fabric dye (match the color of the garment as closely as possible)
- Rubber gloves
- Old towel or drop cloth
- Large bucket or sink
- Hot water
- Stirring stick or spoon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dye Solution:
- Follow the instructions on the fabric dye package. Generally, you will need to dissolve the dye in hot water.
- Fill a bucket or sink with enough hot water to submerge the stained garment and add the dissolved dye.
- Dye the Garment:
- Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the dye.
- Submerge the garment in the dye solution, ensuring the bleach-stained areas are fully immersed.
- Stir the garment continuously for the recommended time on the dye package (usually around 10-30 minutes).
- Rinse and Dry:
- Once the desired color is achieved, remove the garment from the dye solution and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Wash the garment separately in cold water with a mild detergent.
- Air dry the garment.
Tip 2: Fabric Paint or Marker
Materials Needed:
- Fabric paint or fabric markers (match the color of the garment as closely as possible)
- Small paintbrush (if using fabric paint)
