Bleach Stains on Clothing

RE: Bleach Stains on white Clothing Post By Susan (Guest Post) (07/17/2008) I tried to clean a stain on a white top with bleach. The spots turned yellow. Is there a way to remove the yellow spots? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleach Stains on Clothing Post By Tiffany (Guest Post) (06/14/2008) I think removing the color from the whole garment is the only way to make it look exactly the same all over. I have been successful with a sharpie but the spot was really small and not in a noticable area. for the person with the ralph lauren jacket you should call ralph lauren customer service and see if they can send you some of the color they use because they usually make their own colors for their clothing Report Spam or Abuse RE: Bleach Stains on Clothing Post By guest (Guest Post) (01/30/2008) I got this bleach stain on my favorite shirt, I saw all the different ways, but don't know which one is right.

An iron just melts the fabric.

The black sharpie pen has saved my rear on more than one occasion, when I've stupidly not changed my clothes & splattered bleach while cleaning or doing the laundry. ---> For small spots on jeans & a temporary fix, use a light or med. blue watercolor pen... You can get a dozen or more colors at a dollar store. These watercolor pens come out in the wash, so you'll have to reapply each time you wash them. But the only "Fix" that works & looks fairly good is on Black clothes & on tiny bleached out areas. I guess you'll have to learn to embroider, or do ribbon roses to cover the area! I remember my favorite pair of Jeans (way back in 1972) ... They were covered in patches & sewn with embroidery floss to resemble a "crazy quilt"... So, you never know, a mistake can always become a loved piece of clothing... Or, cut out the bleached spot & fill the hole with a crocheted, or store-bought piece of lace... If you crochet the lace yourself, you can use any color of thread, so it would look like it belonged & was MADE to go there! I usually never throw out ruined clothes. If you can sew or do crafts & have a good imagination, they can most times be made into new things, or made into clothes for children or little tots. In fact my favorite "new" summer dress was just made from cutting up an old long sleeve dress & remade into a cute little halter dress!

In an earlier post on this site, I talked about the fact that I have ALMOST banned bleach from my househould due to this happening over and over again. I have it in my laundry room and NEVER wear anything good to do laundry. I just got sick of this happening. Of course sometimes it is not your fault. I picked up a bottle of bleach from under my sink for counter cleaning one time and the bottled had developed a hole in the bottom...runied my favorite pair of summer cotton pants...to which I had a top, shoes and even earrings to match!! You will probably just have to bite the bullet on this one.

Report Spam or Abuse Request: Bleach Stains on Clothing Post by lewis_admin (1304) | (02/16/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact I got bleach on my new navy blue cotton pants it splashed up from the floor causing lots of tiny spots to appear on the pants (near the ankle area). It's too many spots to color individually was wondering if I should dye the whole garment? Any ideas? Georgia from Australia Answers: Eyeshadow I was trying to fix my light blue jeans, but couldn't find any sharpie to match it, so I decided to use eyeshadow. I mixed my light blues with my greys, and now I am going to set it in with an iron. Also, I will throw them in the drier to try and set the stain. I got the colors to match, now I just hope the stain will set. My Experience In my experience there isn't much you can do on a bleach stain. You can use clothing dye and try to match the color but its really tough to do. It never seems to match and just leaves you with a different colored stain. You can strip out much of the existing color and dye the entire garment. Sometimes this will produce a nice result. Bleach stains are a bummer, though. If anyone else has a more encouraging approach I would like to hear it. Sharpie If it matches close enough, you can fill in a spot with a sharpie pen. By Jane Crayon Find a crayon to match the color needing to be re-dyed. Color over the spot . Use an old cotton rag and iron over the colored spot with the cloth between the hot iron and clothing. The heat will set the color in. Usually works pretty good---have to say it looks better than a white spot. By Sharon, Ky Hide Spots When I was painting and got spots of paint on my clothes and couldn't get the paint out I just added MORE. Take a clean toothbrush and add more bleach stains by holding the wet with bleach toothbrush and scrap a butter knife across the bristles (away from you) on both legs. Then do the same with 3-4 colors of acrylic paints. Paint a few flowers and a butterfly or lady bug and just wear them every where. You just might start a new fad. Another thing is to add rows of lace ruffles around the legs to hide the bleach spots. By Great Granny Vi Report Spam or Abuse
