How do I treat hair dye stains?Updated 2 hours ago
TL;DR: For hair-dye on fabric, use Stain Remover then launder with Sensitive Laundry Liquid. Spray the stain, wait 10 minutes, then launder. Hair dyes vary and are complex, so complete removal isn’t guaranteed.
What to use
- Stain Remover: enzyme-powered pre-treat to help lift colour pigments.
- Sensitive Laundry Liquid: gentle, effective wash to carry away the lifted dye.
Step-by-step
- Act fast (if fresh): Blot excess with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing.
- Pre-treat: Spray Stain Remover to fully cover the mark and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Launder: Wash per the garment care label using Sensitive Laundry Liquid.
- Check before drying: If the stain remains, repeat steps 2-3. Do not tumble dry or iron until you’re happy with the result (heat will set stains).
Extra tips
- Test first: Spot-test on an inconspicuous area for colourfastness and fabric compatibility
- Hair dyes differ by brand/shade and can be permanent, some stains may only lighten.
