Home remedies to remove bleach stains from clothes

The first thing you have to do is distinguish the two types of bleach stains that may exist, that is, those that are made on colored clothes, or white clothes.

Bleach stains on colored garments

You’re doing laundry, you need to use bleach, and you inadvertently spill some of it on the colored item next to you. The result? A part of the color of the pants that you wear so much has been erased, giving way to a whitish stain.

Bleach stains on white clothes

The other option that we are going to try to solve is the yellowish stains that remain on white clothes when you have used too much bleach or because the clothes begin to deteriorate. The fact is that bleach does not do its job well and instead of cleaning it leaves them with an unpleasant yellow stain.

Bleach stains on colored clothes, what can I do?

• Bleach discolors the fabric, that is, it causes the color of the clothes to fade, giving way to an ugly stain. If you just spilled bleach on your garment, wash it as soon as possible. The reason is that it takes time to take effect and you may be able to erase it.
• If this is not the case, you should know that in these cases the solution, even if you do not believe it, is to dye the garment so that it recovers its color. If, for example, you have a red sweater with white fading on the sleeve from bleach, the only thing that will save you from throwing it away is wearing clothing dye.
• The problem is finding the same color to make it look good. If you are an expert in these tonalities, it will not cost you much, but if this is not your case, try to look closely when you go to buy the dye to find the same one or at least one that is very similar. Another option that never fails is to dye the entire garment, it will look like new!
