Step 2: Wash the Garment
Wash your garment normally with a mild detergent to remove any remaining bleach residue. Let it dry completely before moving on.
Step 3: Recolor the Bleached Spot
Using a fabric dye or marker that closely matches your garment’s color, carefully apply it to the bleached area with a cotton swab or fine brush. Start with a light layer — you can always add more if needed. Allow the color to dry fully between layers.
Step 4: Set the Color
Follow the dye or marker instructions for heat setting, which usually involves ironing or tumble drying. This will help the color last through washes.
Bonus Tip: Make it a Design!
If the recoloring doesn’t quite match or you want to be creative, consider turning the bleach splash into an intentional pattern. Use fabric bleach pens to add complementary splashes or shapes, creating a fun, one-of-a-kind look.
Prevention Is Key
To avoid future bleach mishaps, always wear an apron when handling bleach and keep bleach containers tightly closed and away from clothing.
Bleach stains don’t have to mean the end of your favorite clothes. With a little care and creativity, you can rescue your garment or even give it a fresh new twist. Give it a try and turn that bleach splash into a fashion statement!
