The use of ammonia is very effective on cotton or wool fabrics, but only if you react in time.
Using this product absorbs bleach on fabrics and prevents fading.
Simply use an absorbent cloth that you soak with this product and then dab the area affected by the bleach. Let it sit for a few minutes and then put your clothes in the washing machine.
Warning: Ammonia can cause skin and eye burns. Wear gloves and masks before using.

This method is highly recommended for tackling the most stubborn stains, such as wine stains, ink stains or grease stains.
For greater effectiveness in removing bleach stains, first rinse your fabric in a basin of cold water.
This will allow the fabric to remove excess bleach and weaken its concentration. Next, mix a cup of baking soda with a little water to form a paste.
Apply the mixture directly to the area affected by the product and let it dry. Using a soft-bristled brush, you can gently scrub the stain to reduce it.
