No the bleach will cause a hole over time. I had a new pair in a plastic bag in I haul trailer & bottle of bleach blow it's top & it got into bag & pants has holes here & there all over legs & black shirt.
No. The bleach has permanently removed the coloration and weakened the fabric. If the fibers are not eaten through by the hydrochloric acid and the material is genuine cotton, you COULD overdye with another color or tie dye using dilute bleach but the area will always be susceptible to tearing or breaking and will take the dye differently. You could patch them or age them like the pre-aged/frayed jeans some people wear.
no...You could redye them, but you will still see colour differences.
I just had bleach get on my new tee shirt. What I did was add some bleach and water to a spray bottle and spray the shirt to make it look like that's that way it was supposed to be. Then I ran it thru a wash cycle. I am pretty happy with the results..
I would go to the rit dye website and ask them the best way to recolor. Yellow and blue make green so you will have to adjust the formula to get a true blue. Violet negates yellow, so I would try a violet blue first. But ask the pros for their advice.... https://www.ritdye.com/contact/
I've done that too. Sorry. Long term it will be a weak spot, first to fray or rip, so first off I'd say iron on a patch on the back larger than the spot to support it. After that, you can use matching fabric paint (diluted with water worked best for me, then it wasn't crunchy-feeling) and carefully brush it kinda randomly over the spot to cover it. Might take multiple tries to get it right, be patient.
Thank you! I meant sodium hypochlorite, an entirely different chemical. My brain obviously wasn't connected to my fingers!
