2. Fabric Marker or Permanent Marker
Using a fabric or permanent marker is a simple and effective fix, especially for small bleach stains.
What You’ll Need:
- Fabric marker or permanent marker (in a color that matches your fabric)
- Iron (optional, for heat-setting fabric marker)
Instructions:
- Choose the Right Marker: Pick a fabric or permanent marker that closely matches the color of the fabric.
- Test on a Small Area: Test the marker on an inconspicuous area of the fabric to ensure it matches.
- Color the Stain: Carefully color in the bleach-stained area. Work in light strokes, applying multiple layers if needed to achieve an even tone.
- Set the Color: For fabric markers, you may need to set the color with heat. Check the instructions for your marker type, and if needed, press an iron gently over the spot for a few seconds.
This technique is especially useful for small spots and for black or dark-colored clothing.
These DIY techniques can help camouflage bleach stains and bring your clothes or fabrics back to life.
