How to Remove Hair Dye from Clothes?

How to remove hair dye from clothes? Is it even possible?

Sheri Green, Trenton, NJ

The most important part of how to remove hair dye from clothes is to treat the stain as soon as possible. The same applies when you need to remove hair dye from carpet and other absorbent materials. There are two simple tools you can use to fix the issue – and you likely have them at home.

The first is rubbing alcohol. Grab paper towels and place one underneath the stained area. Soak the spot with rubbing alcohol and wait a minute. Then blot the stain with another towel.

If that doesn’t release all of the dye, leave the stained fabric to sit overnight in alcohol. Then rinse it the next day under running water and wash the garment. Retreat if necessary.

While those are the only tips I have for you about how to remove hair dye from clothes, you might be interested in this article. It tells how to get hair dye off your skin, out of the carpet, and out of hair.

For example, you can scrub dye off skin with toothpaste. Baking soda and liquid dish soap have the same effect. Next, petroleum jelly, olive oil, and baby oil will release hair dye from your skin, too. If massaging for a few seconds doesn’t do the job, leave the oil on overnight if you can.

Finally, nail polish remover can dissolve hair dye, too. Just rinse your skin thoroughly afterward as acetone can dry it out. Applying lotion can alleviate this problem.

I hope that you never have to deal with hair dye on the carpet. But if you do, grab the distilled white vinegar and the dish soap. They can help release the stain.

In conclusion, here’s how to lighten hair dye in case you don’t love the color or if you want to bleach your hair. You’ll need baking soda and anti-dandruff shampoo. Once you dampen your hair with hot water, massage this mixture through it. Be sure to rinse well and apply conditioner when you’re done.
