Answer 1

Hair Dye Stain Removal from Carpet
An unfortunate accident with hair dye can make cleaning carpet a nightmare. In many cases, it may even mean the end of your carpet. Hopefully it won't come to this. There are a few things you can try to remove carpet stains of this nature. First of all, it should go without saying that if hair dye is spilled on the carpet one should act immediately. Dampen a sponge and apply dishwashing liquid. Blot the stain with the sponge until you've lifted as much of the dye as possible. You can also try doing the same thing with vinegar. If this doesn't work and the stain hasn't set into the carpet too deep, you might be able to snip the very top fibers of the carpet without anyone knowing. If none of this works, you'll have to call in a professional who makes cleaning carpet stains his business or rearrange your furniutre to hide the stain
Good luck! =)

this variety of stain is between the toughest to get out the carpet. i'd propose utilising a moist vac and slowly pour warm boiling water (from a kettle) prompt and vacuum it up at the same time, (this can open up the dye ports on the carpet fibre liberating the stain. and do away with the residue from the carpet). If the stain continues to be seen than attempt putting first light dishwashing liquid (4 or 5 drops into one cup of water) or carpet spotter. hose down the spot letting it soak on the stain for about 5 minutes and repeat the first step. After this you need to rinse the realm again with the moist vac and warm water. Carpet cleanser for 14 years

nope, black won't come out, it will only come up to a red shade. I suggest you either get a new bathroom carpet, cover it with another carpet, or piece it and glue it down (that is, if a new piece would not be too different a color from the rest of the pale green.

Answer 4

It is likely that the carpet is ruined, but it is expensive to decide to just get rid of it.

Try some nail color remover - and just dab it with a cotton ball or other rag. Don't use polish remover or acetate based stuff as that is almost certain to damage the carpet. The non acetone base is often a pain to remove nail polish, but that is because it is less harsh. Just dab at it. In reality - it can't get much worse, and it might help.

Answer 5

Try some hydrogen peroxide plus small amount of ammonia and use a cotton bud to apply this solution to the dye . It can take 2-3 days before you start to see any difference - that's if it is going to work . You can speed this up by warming the cleaning solution with a hairdryer - but not near any water !!!
Hope that works

Answer 6

Sorry but you don't.
If you've written this post then its dried in. Dye colors the fibers of the carpet so it doesn't come out. Either color the rest of the carpet, replace it, or find a way to live with it.

Answer 7

you can try trimming the bit where the dye went with some sharp scissors and then working some pale green powder eyeshadow into the patch. Have tried similar with beige carpet.

Answer 8

You will probably need to call the professionals for this--because anything strong enough to get the dye out will damage the carpet.
