I accidently got a splash of Clorox Clean-Up w/ Bleach on my brand new shorts (I bought them yesterday). Its not horrible, but its definately noticeable. Help me restore my pants to new!

    Oooo! Sorry.

    It is not a stain. In fact, it is an absence of color. You would have to dye the fabric, and there is no way to dye it to match well.

    You could try getting some Rit Dye. Dilute it a great deal. It should be so dilute that it will take a lot of applications to match the color. Apply it with an artist’s brush. Let it dry completely between applications.

    This won’t really match, but it will probably be better than anything else you can do.

    Could you put a patch or applique over it?

    Bleach the whole thing and re-dye it?

    If it’s not really bleach, and some other type of white stain… It will also be hard to fix. Your DNA doesn’t cu-err, come, off too well.

    You cannot remove it. It is not a stain.

    An easy way to fix the problem, is to dye them a dark color. That will cover the bleach spot, and blend in, only it has to be a darker color..like navy blue..or black..
