Best answer!

daren1 has the best answer. Hide it. He'll think he lost it. That's what I used to do with my daughter's obscene rock T-shirts when she was a teen.

Or, as I told Flip, greet your hub at the door with only THAT shirt on and tell him you are so hot that it faded the color right out of his shirt. I have a feeling that he'll be wanting you to bleach out a few more shirts after that!

I am afraid there is nothing you can do except to buy him a new shirt.

Find a quick scapegoat "Dog, Cat, Interior decorater, You fainted during doing laundry, etc" or as others stated try to replace or just tell him with a sad puppy look, maybe a tear or two. GOOD LUCK!!

Have you had success with this product? Try as I might, i have never had luck.
Do you have a technique?
If so, you are the Queen!

I haven't really tried it. I do use bluing when I'm washing whites but be careful, I've turned a whole load of whites the prettiest sky blue...

The cat thing might work. I had a cat walk into the house 4 years ago and she hasn't left. She doesn't usually have such bad manners...oh who am I kidding!? Augh!

Just tell your husband you were in bed with your lover. I am sure he will understand.

It would be better to gave her husband the bleached shirt, then what you are suggesting.

My husband wouldn't believe this story. He is too cute and he knows I think that. The man looked seriously good in that shirt.

Face the man and tell him the truth - it's your first offence and maximum fine is cost of a new shirt. He understands u did not do it intentionally. Good luck

fishgirl, shouldn`t question have an expiry date, say 4-6 months so new questions are answered and if someone has a question similar to ine expired, it can be a new question- WHAT YOUR THOUGHT. Shell i pose the question to membership for feedback!

Funny things happen. I forgot about this question. My husband found this particular shirt in the laundry room just before renovation. He has just a little funeral and now you find the question! Ha!

Weird. I avoided this question because I had no idea what to do to fix it.....bleached out is bleached out. I was just going to answer and admit I didn't know, but it's been fun reading the answers. When I saw it was YOUR question, it was even better, because we "know" each other. :D
I quite using bleach in the laundry a long time ago. There are some good products for laundry that have bleach but don't bleach out the clothing.
