Damaged with bleach - any hope?

Legacy_user · 2005-03-27 10:52:59

My sons navy blue hoody has got bleach on it. The blue on the hood has gone a funny shade of pink/grey. Hubby has come up with the idea of re dying the bleached bit navy but i am unsure as to whether it will dye properly once its been bleached. Have any of you attempted a recovery of this sort? Did it work out ok?

Thanks to all the suggestions.

I already have a permanent marker pen so think I'll give that a go first, as it seems a popular choice. Then if that doesn't work I'll try one of the other approaches.

Note also now put on bleach bottle to only be opened when wearing old clothes

Thanks again all - I love MSE!
