How to Remove Bleach Stains from Fabrics with 2 Tricks
Bleach stains can be frustrating because bleach usually removes the fabric’s original color rather than leaving a normal stain. However, you can improve the appearance of the damaged area with these two simple tricks.
1. Use a Fabric Marker
Choose a fabric marker that closely matches the color of your clothing. Test it on a hidden area first, then gently color over the bleached spot. Let it dry completely before washing the fabric.
This works best for small bleach spots on colored clothes.
2. Dye the Fabric
For larger or more noticeable bleach marks, fabric dye can be a better option. Choose a dye that matches the original color and follow the instructions on the package.
For the best result, you may need to dye the entire garment so the color looks even.
A Quick Tip
Always check the care label before treating the fabric. Never mix bleach with other cleaning products, especially ammonia or acids, because dangerous fumes can form.
