Question
How to remove yellow bleach stain at linen???
Thanks

Answer
Hi there,

Thank you for your question.  I'm sorry about your fabric.  I don't work with linen, but I will tell you what we'd do with a bleach stain on carpet.

If the bleach has stained a colored fabric, then in addition to removing the bleach residue from the fabric using water, you're also going to need to redye the fabric.  If your linen is white (which I'm assuming that it is), then you're going to want to rinse the stained aread to remove any bleach residue, and then use hydrogen peroxide to get out the yellow stain.  Hydrogen peroxide can be harsh, so be sure to test a small inconspicuous area with this product before using it directly on the fabric.  Hopefully, this will work out!

Best of luck,
Katie
