Bleach spot on sweatshirt

I dropped toothpaste on a blue sweatshirt that I LOVE and now there is a slight discoloration on the front of the sweatshirt. Any suggestions?

The only thing you can do now is color the spot ( permanent marker) or cover it with a design or applique.

I once accidentally got Rit dye sprinkled on a pair of orange carpenter's pants back in the 80's. Since the dye was black, and the pants were orange, I decided to create a little whimsy out of the spots, and turned them into spiders using fabric paint. It looked like spiders crawling across my leg. I had a lot of people asking where I bought them. You may just have to turn an oopsy into an opportunity to create something a little outside of the box.

Sew a flower or other design over it, or put an iron on design over the spot.

Dang....it makes you wonder what the heck is in toothpaste that it will take color out of clothing! And we are putting this in our mouths!

Use a cotton swab/Q-tip, dip it in bleach and rub the spot VERY lightly then immediately rinse well in cool water. I have had good luck with this on several nice items and it worked GREAT! My other favourite thing to use for protein type stains is Dawn dish soap formula.
