The 2 powerful techniques that you can apply at home to remove bleach stains

Technique 2: Create a DIY Fabric Marker or Paint Touch-Up

If the stain is small or on non-washable items (like upholstery or sneakers), a creative way is to use fabric markers, acrylic paint, or permanent markers to “color in” the bleach spots.

How to do it:

1. Match the color of the fabric or surface as closely as possible. Fabric markers or acrylic paints come in many colors.
2. Apply carefully to the bleach spot with a fine brush or marker tip.
3. Let dry completely, and if needed, apply a second coat for better coverage.

This method works well for small stains and can extend the life of your favorite items.

Bonus Tips to Prevent Bleach Stains

• Always dilute bleach properly before use.
• Use bleach sparingly and avoid splashing.
• Wear protective gloves and keep bleach away from clothing or surfaces you don’t want to damage.
• If you spill bleach, rinse the area immediately with water to dilute it.
