    Sorry to tell ya hun but there is no way that you are going to get that yellow out of your shirt. You could however buy a grey fabric dye at a local craft store and try that, the bleached area will not take dye very well and it will be a different shade then the rest of the shirt, and it could look worse because it’s different. I have done this to soooo many of my clothes and I basically have just given up and used them as a new cleaning shirt because that way I dont ruin any other clothes!

    You can’t…sorry. Your best bet is to go buy a new gray shirt.

    Good luck!

    You cannot. You can try to dye it a couple of shades darker – or you can tie dye the whole thing with more bleach.

    I am sorry to inform you; you can not bring back the color of clothes once bleach has been spilled or poured on clothes, your only recourse to this problem would be to dye them with Rit dye Good Luck !

    the other responses are all correct, except that if you attempt to dye the fabric, the bleached area won’t take the dye as well as the rest, and will still definitely be a different shade, and possibly even more noticeable.
    maybe sew some embroidered patches over the area?
    Otherwise, you have a brand new painting/gardening shirt!
