My white linen shirt has a big navy blue moose on the pocket, would bleaching it work to make it white?
Question:
Answers:
I would say yes, probably you could. Use a Clorox Bleach Pen for accuracy, it is more of a gel type of bleach and it gives you more control and costs about $3 or less.
What she said.
It might. but don't use toooooo much. it might put a hole in it.
if you are trying to make the moose white as well, then make sure you put the bleach on the front and back of it and let it sit for a bit to completely penetrate the fibers of the moose.
if you are just trying to get the rest of the shirt back to white, def. use a bleach pen like the others suggested or use the spot treatment that you squirt on and the two treatments mix (i think its by spray and wash but i am not sure) it works wonders and you can spray it on when you take the shirt off and leave it for days!
Yes, I would use a bleach for colors to be safe.
Two interpretations here:
1 - You want the moose to turn white:
The moose will not go white. As it's embroidered on a white base fabric the retailer will have made certain that it has a high colour fastness. So normal household bleach will not work, neither industrial bleach. If you bleach the garment you will be left with a blotchy grey-blue moose and a stained white shirt. (try putting similar pieces of navy embroidery thread and white fabric with your bleach, you'll see what I mean).
2- You want to keep the moose navy & whiten the shirt
The navy colour will bleed onto the white. Perhaps try some oxygen type bleach?
Hope this helps.
