can you dye over a bleach mark on black clothes ?

Question

will it remove the mark if I used black dye ?

Answer 1

Yes I believe it will. But you need to be sure the bleach is completely rinsed out/evaporated/gone.

Answer 2

Try using a black laundry marker and dab it on the bleached out area. It is permanent and does not wash out. I use it to mark my children's names in their jackets. I've washed them countless times and the name is still in there! It is easier to handle than dealing with dye. You could use dye as a last resort though if the area is too big for a laundry marker. One good brand of marker is called "rub-a-dub" believe it or not! It is not to be confused with the sharpie permanent marker, get a laundry marking pen specifically.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I think zengirl has the best idea - unfortunately over-dyeing will make the black bits even darker and the bleached bit will still show.

Answer 4

if nothing else is handy or if u just need an 'emergancy' cover up then i would suggest this 'crazy' method of mine but it works... i use pemenant black marker lol i am a bit clumsy with cleaning products etc and i only wear black so its the fastest way but it also lasts lol hope u find it helpful too x

Answer 5

I was going to recommend the black marker too - I've done it before and it's OK.
