Once dry, heat-set the color if recommended (check dye or marker instructions) by ironing with a cloth over the area or tumble drying on low.
Bonus Tips
For larger bleach spots, consider using fabric dye to recolor the whole garment for an even finish.
On non-fabric surfaces, use acrylic paint or permanent markers to cover stains.
Avoid bleach near colored fabrics unless you’re doing intentional bleaching.
FAQ
Q: Can bleach stains be fully removed?
A: Bleach removes color permanently, so full removal isn’t possible, but discoloration can be disguised or recolored.
Q: Will vinegar damage fabric?
A: No, diluted vinegar is safe for most fabrics and helps neutralize bleach’s harshness.
Q: What if the stain is on leather or upholstery?
A: Consult a professional cleaner. For DIY, fabric markers or paint designed for leather can help conceal small spots.
