Damaged with bleach - any hope?

If you can't hide the mark but want to keep the garment, this site has a huge number of ideas on how to re-vamp t-shirts (some are a bit...umm...odd!)

Dylon washing machine dye will cover the bleach marks - I know this because I'm forever splashing bleach on my black clothes :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Its a light green, they are quite small. Will wash a few times before I decide. Thanks all!

You need to use a dye stripping treatment (dylon does one in the same shelf as the dyes) to get out the old dye to even the colour and then dye a new coulour, or choose a very dark colour such as black. It will also depend on what fabic it is (natural fabrics dye better than most synthetics). If its in a suitable place I'd embroider / sew something over it.

Had no idea where to post this so feel free to move to another list.

I've spilt bleach on my trackie bottoms. Not the trackie bottoms I use for gardening and cleaning but the nearly-new, really quite respectable, navy pair I often use when I take the dogs to agility. Is there any way I can dye the bleached bits? They're not going to be closely examined, will probably spend a lot of time covered in dog hair and the pockets stuffed with livercake, but the bright whiteish splodge is too obvious.

Any ideas? (other than running faster so people don't see me for dust. I couldn't run as a child and things haven't improved with age!)

You could get a blue indelible marker and try bluing in the splodge it will wear away with washing but you can keep doing it over and over..

A patch? put several one so it looks like they were supposed to be like it

I'd go with the marker pen.. or paint.

If that fails use white fabric paint to paint a small motif on it..

Or, wear them anyway I'm sure at dog training you get muddy and doggy anyway so who's going to care or even notice?
