[Northkeep] anyone know how to fix bleach splatter on a tunic ?

[Ld.blackmoon]

greetings

lol, that was gonna be the next question ...but since it turns out pouring 
bleach in the sink, and swirling the tunic around in it isn't the right way 
to bleach it , would puting sa 1/2 gallon of bleach in the tub with say half 
a tub of hot water be ok ??  for how long ??

thanx
Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun .
