Using this product will absorb the bleach from the fabrics and prevent fading.
Simply use an absorbent cloth that you soak in this product and then rub the area affected by the bleach. Let it sit for a few minutes and then put your clothes in the washing machine.
Warning: Ammonia can cause burns to the skin and eyes. Please wear gloves and masks before use.
– Baking soda paste to neutralize bleach.
For greatest effectiveness on bleach marks, start by rinsing the fabric in a bowl of cold water.
This will allow the fabric to remove excess bleach and weaken its concentration. Next, mix a cup of baking soda with a little water until it forms a paste.
Apply the mixture directly to the area affected by the product and let it dry. Using a soft-bristled brush, you can gently scrub the stain to reduce it.
This solution can act effectively against bleach stains and is suitable for wool, linen, denim and cotton fabrics.
Simply use a cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide before rubbing the bleach-affected area. Then rinse your textile with water before letting it air dry. It is recommended to put the clothes in the washing machine for best results.
Caution: White vinegar should never be used to neutralize bleach. This combination can produce very toxic chlorine gas.
If despite your attempts the stain is still present, you will have no choice but to dye the fabric.
