My housekeeper splashed bleach on a man's Hugo Boss suit


Name: Wayne
Message: My housekeeper splashed bleach on a man's Hugo Boss suit. It is made in Greece with 97 percent cotton and 3 percent lycra. I am in the southern California area. Is there anyone who can salvage my disaster.

A dry-clean-only suit cannot be dyed, and dyeing alone is unlikely to salvage the suit, anyway. Your best hope is probably the fabric marker technique of correcting bleach spots; see Help! I ruined clothing by spattering bleach. How can I fix it?, in the FAQ section of my web site. However, it will never look quite like new again.

If the suit is made of natural fibers, you might try contacting Sherry Smilo (sherry@fabricdyeing.com) at True Color Fabric Dyeing.
