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