There are three ways to get rid of a stain. Well at least three. You can remove it through bleach or something akin to it. You can cover it up with a patch or some nice design. Or you can stain the rest of the material so that it’s all homogeneous. The last option is perhaps the most dramatic, but also likely the most successful.

If you try bleach, something will always remain and you will be reminded of the stain again and again. If you cover it up with a patch then you will always notice it and be afraid to show what is underneath it. But if you accept the stain and then stain the rest of the material, you will find a new equilibrium.
