How to restore color lost by bleach
« on: August 29, 2007, 02:26:05 PM »
I have these three great shirts I just bought and i already got bleach spots on them (stupid mistake). I was wondering if anyone knew of any way I can comfort myself in my state of denial by using some kind of dye or something to restore them. The local cleaners were certain that my shirts are now rags. I'm so pissed.

if you soak the shirts in gasoline and then take a match to them, they will be perfect...

There's nothing that can reverse the effects of bleach... your shirts are now rags.

...you're fucked. However, just think of how nice they will look when you clean your car with them.

You can always just add more 'splotches' of bleach and have that cool late 80's acid-wash look ;)

Cut off the sleeves and collar. Make sure your trapps are busting out.
