How to Remove Bleach Stains From a Coat
- 1). Stop the bleach from whitening more of the coat's fibers by rinsing the affected area with cold water until all possible chlorine bleach is washed clear of the fabric. Place a towel over the front and back of the wet bleached spot to absorb any extra water that may run off of the coat's saturated fabric fibers.
- 2). Treat the fabric with a clean cloth soaked in white vinegar to lower the pH level of the chlorine bleach that stained your coat. Generously tab the stain with the vinegar until it saturates the stained fibers, Rinse out each white-vinegar treatment completely with cold water when you remove bleach stains from a coat. Pat the stain with a towel and allow it to completely dry before the next step.
- 3). Place the coat on a flat table over a towel to protect the tabletop underneath. Apply fabric dye with a fabric marker. Use even strokes of the marker to layer the color until it matches the intensity of the original fabric dye.
- 4). Turn the coat over and apply fabric dye, using a fabric marker on the backside of the bleach stain. Make sure there is a towel under the stain to protect the table you are working on. Apply enough of the marker to match the color of the fabric dye around the bleach stain.
- 5). Place a dry, clean cloth over the stained area that has been dyed with the fabric marker. Heat an iron to medium heat and press it down onto the clean cloth, covering the newly dyed bleach stain. Do not move the iron around. Ironing the area will set the fabric marker into the fabric. The set marker dye will be ready to be washed once it has been set with heat and allowed to dry completely.
