How on earth do I get hair dye out of my carpet?

Answer 1

I have THE answer for you. Go to a CVS and in the same section as the hair dye there is a product by Tweezerman, called "Color Stain Gone" It gests stans out of EVERYTHING, sinks, floors, carpets, skin, you name it, it works! No damage to anything by using this wonderful product! Good Luck!

Answer 2

There are some bad things that happen in life that justify consultation with a pro. I think you should call a recommended carpet cleaning specialist. And if they say there's no reasonable way to do it and that the carpet is permanently damaged, it tells you what direction you now have to go for more expensive options - carpet replacement (whole or in part) or a floor and furniture arrangement change to cover a mistake until you're ready for new floor covering some day.

Answer 3

Immediately blot dye up with white paper towels. Then, mix 1/4 teaspoon mild hand dish-washing detergent with one cup lukewarm water. (Don't use a stronger concentration, or laundry or automatic dish detergent, which could damage the carpet further.) Dip a white cloth in the mixture and dab stain from the outside in. Let set a minute or so, then blot again. You may have to repeat several times. Have patience. Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with cold water, then blot dry with a clean cloth.

A last resort if small spots (like yours) don't budge: Lighten them with three percent hydrogen peroxide, dabbed on with a cotton swab. Let dry 24 hours. If needed, repeat. Fill in with a permanent felt-tip fabric marker that matches carpet color. (Mark a little bit at a time.) It may not look perfect, but it beats buying a new carpet!
