removing red hair dye from bathroom floor?

Question

I colored my hair using a red hairdye, and stupid me, some of the dye got onto the linolium bathroom floor. The linolium is mostly white. I didn't catch this until bit later in the evening. Will using a clorox cleaner (already has bleach in it) work in getting the stain out, or would it be better for me to use regular bleach? I'd like to have the stain totally gone before my roommate comes home in a few days.

Lesson learned: ALWAYS wear old clothing and cover the bathroom floor and sink with old towels or newspaper.

Answer 1

lay a napkin down on the stain
pour some bleach on the napkin just to soak it
let it sit a few minutes or longer
lift napkin, stain gone.

Answer 3

Spill some chlorine bleach on the bathroom floor and let it sit there, and all the stains will disappear in under 30 minutes. (Make sure to ventilate the bathroom unless you want to pass out from the fumes.)

If your bathroom floor is not bleach-safe, use peroxide creme developer (the same kind you dye your hair with) on a rag. Get on your hands and knees, and scrub.

Answer 4

use some baking soda mixed with a little bit of water. If that does not work try mixing some bleach with toothpaste, do not try this if your floor is a dark color because there is a chance that the bleach might lighted the color of the floor.

Answer 5

I would suggest getting a product such as "Goo Gone" which helps removes things like that. Before investing money into it, try things like household cleaners or even petroleum jelly. There is also hair colour removers and stain removers just for situations like that.

Answer 6

Try the clorox cleaner first. red hair dye is tough to get out. sprain it on and let itr sit several minutes. If the tile is really purous it might not come all the way out.

Answer 7

Is it linoleum or vinyl? That makes a difference in the treatment of the stain.
Try pouring rubbing alcohol directly on the stain.

Answer 8

Bleach is the only thing that will really touch it. If the stain is still there, then it's going to stay there to remind you to be more careful in the future.
Perhaps you can surprise your roommate with a bathroom throw rug?
