Question about bleach on clothes

Yeah, if it's dry you're all set. Glad it worked out, I would have FREAKED. Bleach and I have never gotten along, I avoid it as much as possible, being a massive klutz and all.

Funny side note about me and bleach: Once, many years ago, I was renting an apartment. When I went to move out, I discovered a bottle of bleach in the bathroom had leaked and bleached out a section of the bathroom linoleum floor. I was dying because I really needed my security deposit back. So I sat there, for hours, HAND PAINTING the pattern back onto the floor using craft paints. I happen to be a wiz at matching colors, and was able to paint the colors and pattern over the bleached area. Then I took some water based varnish and went over that for the shiny look. It worked. The landlord never noticed it and I got my deposit back.

Back in the day, when I was young, I would have tried something along those lines too.

I am the bleach queen. If it won't come clean, bleach it! I have the spotty clothes to show for it too.

Hey, and you know what? I was just thinking back on all that (so many years ago!).. and I had to buy a fridge for that apartment because it didn't come with one. And when I moved my new place had one, so I left them with a brand new fridge from Sears, I only lived there for about a year. So that's worth MUCH more than replacing a couple of linoleum tiles, so I don't feel too badly about it!
