SOS I just got permanant hair color on my carpet. Is there any way to get it out? Nothing seems to work.?

Answer 1

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 dish washing 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 furniture to hide the stain.Good luck! =)

Try what carpet experts suggest: 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 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!

I had black paint spattered on a light colored wall and I used Goo Gone, worked beautifully. You can usually get it at any major grocery or hardware store, good luck.
