You can't. It's impossible.

No, I am sorry. Bleach is permanent. There has never been a way to remove it. Bleach is a chemical and "burns" the color right off. You may want to purchase the Clorox Bleach Pen as opposed to using bottled bleach for stain removal next time. The bleach in the pen is just as concentrated (if not more so) but is in a thicker consistency, therefore you have more control over it and it won't spill onto your other clothes. The end of the pen also has a small brush like object where you can rub the stain. You could also try taking the part of the shirt that has the stain, and "dunking" it into a glass of bleach/water (use a plastic cup) and letting it sit for a minute or so. You never want to pour bleach directly onto a stain. Don't worry - we all do this at one point in our lives. I remember when I was 10 or so and I spilled red Koolaid on my bedroom carpet. I used bleach to attempt to remove it and my parents ended up with a yellowish orange stain on the rug that was far worse (and much larger!) than the Koolaid itself. Lesson learned. :)

You mean the "stain" the bleach left. NO. To actually remove the bleach, just use water. You cannot repair the damage done to the clothes, sorry. Next time, keep the clothes away from the area you are measuring the bleach and add the bleach to the washer and rinse the cup out and wipe up any spills before you bring the clothes around. Hard way to learn that lesson! Sorry!

Bleach is a color remover. If you like the clothes you may want to try to save it. RIT makes a product that you use prior to dying if you want to strip some of the color out. I would suggest you do that first, then you can follow with re-dying the items of clothing. Otherwise, there isn't anything you can do. The color will fade where ever the bleach has splashed on it.

Sorry to say bleach does not come out. The only thing you can do is to get some clothes dye & try dying it back or you could tie dye them & act like you did it on purpose!

Sorry, hun, bleach is not a dye. It takes colors out of materials. Consider those throw away clothes.

Oooh....Sorry...That is a shame. Nothing you can do except trying to re-dye the clothes that you are concerned with.
Next time, bleach your white shirt separately--maybe in a dish pan container.

Bleach is permanant. You will never be able to remove the stain.

Bleach is a color remover. You'll have to re-dye the clothes.

there is no way to remove a bleached spot b/c the bleach already faded the color away. it really sucks when that happens.
