How To Bleach Delicates
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Clorox. All opinions are 100% mine.
I’ve always thought of bleach as a no no when it comes to delicates. Bleach is so harsh that I didn’t think it could be safely used on my delicates. When I got this Express sweater handed down to me from a friend I was excited because I loved the sweater, but I was quickly disappointed to find it full of stains. Something had obviously splashed onto the front of the sweater and it was riddled with stains all down the front. I thought it was a lost cause but tossed it in the back of my closet in the event that I found a way to remove the stains.
It appeared to be some sort of grease stain and I knew it would be difficult to remove as it had already been washed and dried so the stain was set in.
You can see them close up here. They were all down the front of the sweater, EVERYWHERE!
Upon further research I discovered Clorox My Ultimate Care Bleach which is available exclusively at Target. It’s safe for delicates and it’s formulated differently than regular bleach. You can pour it directly on the fabric! It’s a thickened formula so there is no splashing and it makes pre-treating stains easy. I poured it directly onto all the stains on my sweater and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I washed it and added some to the wash as well. I was happy to find there really wasn’t a bleach odor either. I loved that I didn’t have to worry about splashing it on my clothes either because I’ve ruined more clothes while using bleach than I care to admit!
I was thrilled to find my sweater had come out of the wash stain free! The gentle bleach formula worked wonders and it didn’t damage my delicate sweater at all. It still felt soft and comfy and there weren’t any holes from pouring the bleach on it! It worked!
If you have delicates that need some TLC then check out Clorox My Ultimate Care Bleach which is exclusively available at Target! Target is offering 10% off My Ultimate Care Bleach on their Cartwheel Mobile App so be sure to take advantage of the savings and give it a try!
Have you ever tossed a favorite clothing item because it was stained beyond repair? Did you know how to bleach delicates?
Those before and after photos are amazing. I’ll have to get some of this. I have a few delicate whites that I almost never wear because I’m afraid to get them dirty.
Wow, I am so happy that the stains came out! Every time I see a new stain on something, I am like NOOOO!! I hate having to throw perfectly good clothes away! I need to check this Clorox out!
i am glad this product works! I know regular bleach doesn’t work as good!
Wow this stuff works wonders, and it looks even whiter to me. Awesome product!
Im happy to hear about this product. I always tend to over bleach my delicate whites and have to throw them away.
This is like a miracle in a bottle. I have a white tank top I need to use this on.
I’ve got to get some of this! I have some really lovely delicates that I never wear for fear of having to clean a stain off of them. There’s nothing more sad than a wonderful, unworn garment. =(
This is amazing! I will have to get some of this so that I can use it. It is so frustrating to have stains set in. It’s great to know there are options for my delicates!
Wow that is awesome! I definitely need to get some asap!
Clorox 2 looks awesome. I’ve been trying to find something to clean my fragile, frilly stuff.
That sweater looks awesome! No one would ever believe the before pics.
I had never heard of Clorox ultimate care. I can thing of many clothes that I could have used this on in the past that I just threw out.
Sadly, yes, I have tossed items due to what I felt was irreparable damage. I have always been a fan of the Clorox brand, & would love to try this product!
I have thrown away baby clothes rather than deal with getting out the poop stain. Never anything nice though.
I have tossed a couple of white shirts (Good old spaghetti stains) I will have to look for this I am constantly getting messy it seems and some clothes I have been to nervous to bleach.
I have 2 messy little boys. Clorox has saved me more times than I can remember!
That’s pretty amazing how it came out. I also like that thicker formula and that it won’t stain like regular bleach!
I always love anything from Clorox! Thanks for sharing this how to!
I have always been nervous to use Bleach on my delicate clothes. I will have to try these tips.
Amazing, I a happy to the point that the stains turned out.. Each time..I see another-stain on something. I am similar to noo.. 🙂 I despise needing to discard superbly great garments. I have to look at this Clorox.
