bleach on black

See the picture of Cosette below in the previous post in her black velveteen jumper?

I found a penny-sized bleach spot on it when I took it out of the wash today.

I don't use bleach, except when I'm working in the nurseries. Then I get bleach spots on MY clothes, sometimes.

I'm pretty sure this spot was caused by the dishwasher detergent. Cosette stuck her fingers in it the other day while I was loading the dishwasher. She must have rubbed it on her pants before I washed her hands off.

Anyway, I want to send out a big thanks to Sharpie Markers, who make it possible for me to salvage our black clothing that get bleach on them.

Thank you, Sharpie!

Nice idea!!! I don't think that I have ever gotten "bleach on black"! But, I will remember this now if it ever does happen!!!
