How can I get black hair dye out of my red carpet?

Question

Ive tried everything and theres still a big black mark where I spilled it :-(. Im not convinced that anything will get rid of it!

Answer 1

dye the whole carpet black then no one will no

Answer 2

This type of stain is one of the hardest to get out the carpet. I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pour hot boiling water (from a kettle) on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, (this will open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre releasing the stain. and remove the residue from the carpet).
If the stain is still visible than try putting Dawn dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. Dampen the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat step one. After this you should rinse the area again with the wet vac and hot water.

HAir dye has a high pigmentation and will not wash out of any type of fabric no matter what you use on it.

Dependant on how big the stain is try cutting out a square of carpet where the stain is and replacing it with an unstained bit from underneath furniture and glue it in. Or if its small and has a big "shag pile" *lol* cut the stain out of the pile with scissors and then glue in more pile from an unstained bit. (I used to do this with cigarette burns when I had houseparties as a youngster!

Apart from that - you're f**ked! Sorry chick. x

Answer 4

Oh no!!!

Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth. Use soap and luke warm water. Blot stain with the soapy cloth working from the outside in. Alternatively buy some carpet stain remover from the shop.

I am not sure it will come out though as black is a tough colour to remove. You poor thing........Good luck!!!

Answer 5

you've a not uncomplicated one there-hair dye is meant to shop your hair colored yet you'll get it off with warm water, a scrubbing brush and some detergent. in case you upload some Vanish Oxi action powder to the warm water this may advance it. you favor to make the carpet moist with the aggregate and SCRUB and then attempt to take in the wetness with a sponge. you would elect to do it a number of cases notwithstanding that's going to gradually fade away. I spilled a pint of espresso on my beige carpet and had given up wish because it develop into a number of months later as I were in a overseas united states of america. I did it once and it had visibly diminished-did it two times and its hardly huge. i'm questioning if I might want to hardship to do it a third time yet its hardly huge now. i'm surprised that i might want to get this darkish brown stain off the form of gentle colored carpet. darkish brown off pink must be extremely ordinary yet you favor to scrub it with a strong stiff brush.

Answer 6

Errrrrrmmmmmmm toughie!!

im not sayin it will work but it does with most things.

try wetting the patch then cover it with brown posting paper and iron over it. try this a few times, the water should soak in the dye then the paper should pick it up.

if not it looks like a new carpet for you!

hope this works tho, GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 7

Try the powder called Oxi-Clean. Make a solution of the powder and place it on the stain for a few mintues then scrub it out.

a little bit of white spirit/turps on a cloth will get rid of it,make sure you wash the spirit off with clean water after to take off the smell
