I have only used ordinary bleach on velvet and that worked quite well I seem to remember, but there was something about neutralising it with vinegar so the fabric did not rot but it was in the 90`s and I have slept since then!!! think the experimental fabric was thrown out on one of my sort outs.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327638922473726598.post-41758840964959490172014-07-19T22:15:36.362-04:002014-07-19T22:15:36.362-04:00Your 2nd one did turn out nicely!

I used diluted bleach - very old - spraying it through a freezer paper stencil, then watched for the magic to occur. And watched. And watched. All the directions said the reaction would happen fast so be ready to quickly dunk the fabric to stop the bleaching at the point you liked. After 20 minutes still not much had happened & it was like watching paint dry so I left it on its own & did something else. I think it took well over an hour for it to bleach out but it was worth the wait. Later I read about bleach losing its effectiveness over time so bought new & had quicker results the next time. It really does give effects you can't get other ways and results not easy to control. I rather like the surprise factor...as long as I don't have to wait forever!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327638922473726598.post-42188064403205841862014-07-19T10:32:26.794-04:002014-07-19T10:32:26.794-04:00Very interesting.

I purchased some Decolourant but have yet to use it. I like what it did on your piece.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432818284701098002noreply@blogger.com
