How to Remove Bleach Stains from Fabrics with 2 Tricks

Bleach stains on colored clothes are a common and unpleasant problem. Sometimes, a colored garment might fall among the whites, or it might get stained while cleaning the house. In any case, we almost always end up throwing away the stained garment, thinking it’s impossible to recover. Or we resort to fabric dyes, which never look like the original.

Bleach is a substance with a very strong odor that releases irritating gases that are dangerous to our health. Contact with the skin is also very dangerous.

In this article, we’ll suggest 2 simple tricks for recovering colored clothes with bleach stains.

Mix 250 ml of room-temperature water and a tablespoon of sodium thiosulfate until it dissolves completely.

Pour the solution directly onto the bleach stain and let it sit for a few minutes, then wash the garment with cold water. Don’t rub.

Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and white vinegar. Dampen a cloth in the solution and apply it to the stain, dabbing gently but without rubbing.

Wash the garment with cold water and, if necessary, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

As you can see, it’s possible to restore a garment with bleach stains; just apply one of the two tricks described above.
