1. Dye the Bleached Area

Dyeing is one of the most effective ways to cover bleach stains, especially if they’re on a large, noticeable area.

What You’ll Need:

  • Fabric dye (in a color that matches the fabric)
  • Cotton swab or paintbrush
  • Gloves
  • Water

Instructions:

  1. Choose a Matching Dye: Pick a fabric dye that matches the original color as closely as possible.
  2. Prepare the Dye: Follow the instructions on the dye packet to mix it. Usually, you’ll need to dissolve it in water.
  3. Apply to the Stain: Dip a cotton swab or small paintbrush into the dye, and carefully apply it to the bleached area. Start small and gradually add more until it blends well.
  4. Let it Dry: Allow the dye to dry completely. You may need to apply several coats to fully cover the stain.
  5. Rinse and Launder: Once you’re satisfied with the color, rinse the area gently with water and then wash the garment as usual.

This method is ideal for solid-colored fabrics and can work on both clothing and upholstery.
