I have a white silk blouse that got bleach on it and now has yellow splotches all over. Is there any way to get this out?

Hi Claudia,
I wish I had better news for you, but the discoloration is permanent.
Silk (along with wool, mohair, leather and spandex should never be washed with Clorox® Regular-Bleach₂ with CLOROMAX® or exposed to its sodium hypochlorite bleach active in any other laundry or home cleaning products.
I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Please let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for writing.
