bleach spots

Faded fabric patches

Bleach spots are discolored patches on fabric or other surfaces where bleach has removed or lightened the original color.

They appear as lighter areas against darker material, often irregular in shape: I ruined my favorite black shirt with bleach spots.

The damage is typically permanent, making bleach spots a common laundry mishap.
