What Can Be Done to Remove Hair Dye from Carpet?
Hair of varying hues is the current craze in hairstyle. It’s now socially acceptable to dye your hair every color of the rainbow. It’s not just young women who are rejecting natural hair hues in favor of bold, bright rainbow shades; men of all ages are doing the same. Some people go for the full rainbow, hoping to be seen as trendy rather than punk or disturbed like in years gone by.
So what happens if you decide to experiment with this trend in the privacy of your own home, only to accidentally get hair dye on the carpet?
Let’s try this:
Use a white paper towel or a clean white towel to quickly wipe off the hair dye.
First, make a solution of a quarter tsp of mild hand dishwashing soap and one cup of hot water. Dawn dish soap works excellently for this purpose. To avoid ruining the carpet, you should use the appropriate amount of cleanser. Make sure you’re not using the dishwasher soap you bought and instead are utilizing the sort made for hand washing. Carpets will also be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Second, take a brand-new clean white cloth or a solid white paper towel and soak it in the soap service you just made.
Finally, carefully dab or blot at the stain, beginning outside the hair color stain and working your way inside. Give the soap a few seconds (or longer) to work on the rust.
After leaving the soap to absorb the stain, blot it again. This process may need to be repeated multiple times. Repeat the process with a new, clean section of the cloth until all of the hair dye has been extracted from the carpet. The process could take some time, so please be patient.
5. Rinse the carpet with cold water to remove the soap after the hair color has been cleaned up. After rinsing, dry with a clean, fresh cloth or a clean, white towel.
If the stains are little and won’t fully vacuum out of the carpet, you can give 3% hydrogen peroxide a thorough try to lighten them as a final resort. Just dab a cotton swab in the peroxide for a few seconds, and then carefully and gently swab the tiny spot where the dye was spilled. Twenty hours should be enough time for it to dry entirely. The carpet’s dyes and colors will have been removed by hydrogen peroxide. Now you should use carpet dye to match the existing color and fill in the blank area. Do not overdo it; use it with great restraint.
