Understanding what bleach does to fabric helps set realistic expectations. Bleach alters the dye in the fibers, which means standard stain removers won’t work. The goal isn’t to “remove” the stain but to reduce how noticeable it looks. In some cases, especially with small or fresh marks, quick action can prevent the discoloration from spreading. Even when a stain has already set, there are techniques that can help blend the area so it doesn’t draw the eye as much.
