Accidentally splashed bleach on your favorite shirt or sweater? While bleach permanently removes fabric dye and can’t be completely erased, you can often make the damage much less noticeable by restoring color or covering the affected area.
Here are two of the most effective at-home methods.
Technique 1: Restore the Color with a Fabric Marker or Fabric Dye
This works best for small bleach spots on solid-colored clothing.
What You’ll Need
Fabric marker (matching your garment’s color)
Or liquid fabric dye
Cotton swab or small paintbrush
Paper towel
Step-by-Step
Step 1
Wash and dry the garment to remove any bleach residue.
Step 2
Place a paper towel inside the garment to prevent the color from bleeding through.
Step 3
Test the marker or dye on a hidden area first to make sure it matches.
Step 4
Carefully color the bleach spot, working from the edges toward the center.
Step 5
Allow the color to dry completely.
Step 6
Wash the garment according to the care label before wearing.
Tip: Several light coats usually look more natural than one heavy application.
Technique 2: Turn the Stain into a Design
If the bleach spot is too large to recolor, consider making it part of the garment’s style.
