Q: Why do bleach spots appear only on certain clothes?
A: Different fabrics and dyes react differently to bleach. Dark colors show bleach damage more prominently.

Q: How can I prevent bleach patches in the future?
A: Use color-safe bleach, avoid mixing bleach directly with detergent, and keep bleach away from delicate fabrics.

Q: Is it safe to wear underwear with bleach patches?
