How do I remove a bleach stain from my corduroy pinafore?

By raysmithtx · Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I spilled bleach on my 3 corduroy pinafore and the white spots will not wash out.
Any last suggestion on how I should remove the spots before I burn the pinafores

You could try to take it to a dry cleaner, they sometimes to amazing things with stains – but as far as I know, unfortunately, bleach stains do NOT come out… that is why you have to be very careful with bleach. The bleach basically “rips” out the color, therefore, it is impossible to get the color back… Sorry to be the one to tell you, but I think you’ll need to throw them away, or make them “painting” clothes or something…

Bleach doesn’t stain anything. Bleach acts by removing the color from fabric, so it can’t be taken out. The fabric will simply need to be re-dyed.

that isn’t a white spot, it’s an absence of color and that’s why it won’t wash out, it needs to be colored in instead. Sometimes a person has things around the house that can fill in the color if it’s not a big spot (shoe polish, dye, magic marker), but in your case it sounds to me like it’s time to trash the pinafore. One thing I do is that if I like a piece of clothing really well I always buy two of it. I just know that something will ruin one of them

At my company, we can dye the bleach spots back to the color of the surface you would like. I would suggest trying to dye it or color it with markers if you can find a similar color.

If youd would like to see if your local ServiceMaster is capable of dyeing to save it call 1-800-RESPOND.

I hope this helps…try to dye it that might save you some stress!!!

Bleach removed the color, so you can’t wash the white spots out.

If you like the garment, you could try dying it or appliqueing something over the bleached spots.
