Is there anything to take out bleach spots?
+6
I recently had a cleaner with bleach in it get on my shirt, of course it was my favorite shirt.
I painstakingly have tried everything. I tried to dye the shirt only for the shirt to come out a different color. I tried dabbing some of the dye on the bleach stains to no avail.
There has to be something out there to take out bleach stains or someone has to know something. HELP!

sorry there isn't I had a cleaning business and ruined many shirts before I realized I should start wearing white
Not sure if this will work or not, but maybe it's worth a try. RIT makes a dye remover, so you could try to remove all the color from the entire shirt and then re-dye it in the color of your choice. Good luck!
Never wear nice clothes when using bleach.I little drop will ruin a whole outfit.Keep older clothes you no longer wear to clean and use bleach.
Beach takes out the color. It is gone. Forever. You can try using dye to re-dye the shirt.
You will have to accept the shirt being a different color. I have had phenomenal success with a product called I-Dye. There are two different formulas, one for natural fabrics, another for synthetics. When you have a blend you use a packet of each. I usually do both because you can't know what type of thread was used to sew the garment together. Thoroughly wash it and follow the instructions. This company also offers a color remover but I have no experience with it. The dye is really fast. Constant turning of garment in dye bath is important. I keep a bucket of cool water next to the stove and periodically remove the garment with tongs and rinse in the bucket To check intensity. You can also keep the dye if you're unsure. Then thoroughly wash the garment. I don't recommend using your washer. The water will not get hot enough and you risk staining the machine.
Hello , Actually, Bleach takes out the color of the dye in your shirt, and it is not a stain at all. try getting rit dye and dye the whole shirt. to get the color you want follow the directions on the on the pkg, Also you will probably have to use a darker color, to cover the places where the bleach took all the color out. If this doesn't work, then you will have to pitch the shirt or wear it the way it is. Good luck. Connie Summers Missouri
I think I'd use the darker dye, as suggested, but I'd dye the bleached area by itself, rinse, and let dry before dying the whole thing. That way you're dying it with the whole garment having color at the beginning of the dye process. Otherwise, you've got a garment that's mostly the dark color except where the bleached spot was, where it would only have one coat of color...It could be lighter there.
