Method 1: Fix a Tiny Bleach Spot With a Fabric Marker

For one small mark on a solid-colored garment, this is usually the first method I’d consider.

Apparel

It’s inexpensive, fast, and far less dramatic than redyeing an entire shirt.

What You’ll Need

Choose a permanent fabric marker specifically intended for textiles in a shade as close as possible to your garment.

You’ll also want:

A piece of cardboard

Cleaning Agents

A clean cloth

Good lighting

A scrap of similar fabric for testing, if available

How to Do It

First, make sure the garment has been rinsed, washed, and completely dried.

Slide cardboard beneath the damaged area so color doesn’t bleed through to the opposite side.

Test your marker somewhere inconspicuous, such as inside a hem.

Coatings & Adhesives

Then gently build color over the bleach
