So, I washed my khaki jeans with my blue jeans, and now they have some blue spots everywhere. How do I fix them?

I splashed bleach-based toilet bowl cleaner on my brand new jeans when the nozzle was clogged, and it squirted out the side. This is why I hate cleaning with bleach. I feel like the only way to prevent this is to clean in my underwear, which isn’t exactly realistic. Now I have bleach spots on my jeans and I don’t know what to do. They’re faded denim, so I’m not so sure the ole sharpie marker trick will do.

I had a stain on my shirt and put some bleach on a tissue and I started scrubbing it, but it turned a disgusting green. I have put it in water but I don’t know if this is the right thing to do. Please help, I’m dead if my mum finds out.

I have a blue denim-colored skirt and it looks like it was stained by bleach because the fabric has some white spots. How can I salvage my skirt?

After a hair bleaching fiasco, my hair was DRY, DRY,DRY. It felt like a Brillo pad. My sister-in-law told me I would need some intensive hair conditioning to get it back near normal. I had wanted to use the Hydrate Conditioner from Shielo Hair before I destroyed my hair. SO I decided to buy the Shielo Hydrate Conditioner and give it a try. After ONE application in my dry, Brillo bleached hair, it was shiny, soft and smelled great. My hair looked better than it did ever before. I do this once a week and my hair looks great, the color has been preserved, and I am never trying anything else. Ever.

In response to the person who said to be careful with facial cleansers with salicylic acid because of the bleach effect it has on towels it shouldn’t be from ones with salicylic acid. I use those all the time with no problems. The stronger ones with Benzoyl peroxide (like Proactiv and others) are the ones that bleach wash cloths and towels and fabrics. I learned this when I didn’t check the ingredients of one and wore it to bed. The pillowcase, my pajama top and my hand towel in the bathroom were ruined.

Thank you soooooo much. I had run out of SHOUT once, and so I accidentally used Clorox with Bleach to get any stains out. WHOOPS!! Not a good idea! So I’ll try to die the load of clothes (As long as I can find the right colors:)) Thank you again!

One of my teachers told me to go clean the whiteboard because I was finished with my test. She gave me a paper towel and a bottle of cleaning spray. When I sprayed the board, some of it splashed my brand-new sweater that I got for my birthday. It turns out the cleaning spray had bleach in it and now I have a sweater with bleach stains all over it. I am trying to find a dye that is the same color but I am not having much luck. BE CAREFUL AROUND CLEANERS!

FYI, I’ve had facial cleanser with I believe salicylic acid produce “bleached” affects on my towel before.

Sometimes dry/powdered laundry detergents can have a bleaching effect if it’s not fully dissolved before you add clothes. I used to let the soap mix with the water before adding clothes to avoid this, but now I just use liquid soaps and I haven’t had an issue since switching.

Thanks for the dye tips!
