Q: I have a white 100 % cotton sheet that has been water damaged leaving brownish spots in several places. I'm hoping bleach will remove stains such as this, but what concentration of bleach and should I soak for a length of time? The sheet is fairly new and I want it pure white, but don't want to ruin it.




A: You have a couple of options for bleaching the water spot.

    You can do....
  • The recommended presoak procedure (1/4 cup Clorox® Regular- Bleach in gallon of warm water for 5-10 minutes before laundering).


    or
  • If you have our Clorox® BleachPen™Gel, apply the product, use the scrubber end to rub the product into the stain; wait 3-5 minutes then wash in the hottest water recommended on the care label with detergent and 3/4 cup Clorox® Regular- Bleach


  • Give either of these a try and let me know how it turns out.
