Hair Dye Stain in a Sink |
|
|
How do I remove black hair dye from my sink? Usually, I am able to remove hair dye from the sink after coloring my hair using ajax. This time (I don't know if it is the color, black, or what) I cannot get the stains out at all. Any ideas?
Thanks so much Anjeena from New York

To Avoid it, put down a trash bag over the sink. Then put your hair color and stuff on the trash bag. It will protect you sink from getting a gloppy

I dyed my hair and left some splatter on the sink, while i waited for the time to rinse. When I came back I was so upset to find that the almost brand new white vanity was black stained. I was so sure I was gonna be killed by my mom. I tried Mr. clean magic eraser and it didn't work at all. Help! thnx

I am so appreciative of the feedback here!! After highlighting my hair I left a container sitting on my sink overnight. Imagine my horror when I removed the plastic bottle only to find a purple ring underneath it from the color!! I tried soap and a plastic scrubby but got no result. I found this forum, found some Comet With Bleach under my kitchen sink, made a paste, let it set for 10 minutes and voila!! Gone! This just saved me having to replace my bathroom sink in advance of our first open house :)

Spritz some hairspray where the dye dripped, and let it soak for five minutes before wiping away. Works every time for me!

Thank GOD ... LOL ... I spilled hair dye on the floor this morning and didn't notice it until I came back into the bathroom, almost 40 minutes later ... needless to say, it left a number of really ugly stains on the cream/marble linoleum ... it's almost new, and I was dreading telling my boyfriend ... LOL ... I tried acetone and bleach (found where that works for permanent markers), and it faded them, but didn't take them out ... when I found this, I didn't think Comet and bleach could really work any better than the acetone/bleach ... I was so wrong, thank heavens! Made a paste, left it for about 5 minutes, scrubbed with a scrubbie sponge, and it is GONE!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Oh my gosh. I was staying with some family for a few months out of state and accidentally got hair dye on their counter and could not get it out! It's been there for 3 months now and I've been covering with a soap thingy.. (I have my own private bath) I've been so uncomfortable whenever they would go in my bathroom and I dreaded the day they found out! Well I'm leaving tomorrow and I was POSITIVE they would find it shortly thereafter. In desperation I googled how to get this stain out and came on this site. I didn't have mr eraser, but I did have a clorox bleach pen. THE STAIN CAME RIGHT OUT! I LOVE ALL OF YOU DEARLY!

Hi, I have been dying my own hair for years and my sinks are extremely corroded from hair dye. I have been researching about how difficult it is to remove hair dye stains from your sink, I found out that over 50 million women alone (this is not even counting Men) dye their own hair in their sinks and all have the same problem about Hair Dye Sink Stains, we have patented a product called the Sink Sav*r that is a thin protective disposable liner you lay on your sink before you dye your hair and when you are finished you ball it up and throw the liner away leaving your sink stain free and looking brand new, we just patented it 5 months ago and the people that have already used them love it! We have already produced and packaged about 20,000 of them. they are very in expensive to buy at about $1 to $1.50 per liner depending on total manufacturing cost but they are extremely convenient and hassel free. no one likes to scrub their sink for an hour and some dye will permanently stain your sink , is anyone interested in trying one? I can send you a free sample...let me know

I got black hair dye on my linoleum. I was just going to run to the store for a Mr. Clean Eraser when I thought about how just a regular can of Comet once got my shower stalls really shiny again and I tried it. It worked. I used the comet with a scrubby sponge. I'm still going to get Mr. Clean Eraser tho, just for the other stuff I can use it for.

I got hair dye stains,(brown), on my linoleum floor in the bathroom. I have been covering it up with the bathroom carpet. Not knowing how to remove the stain. any ideas will try.
Editor's Note: Seems to me that a magic eraser might work for this.

About your request to prevent future stains: I had this crazy thought. It might work.......or it might not! Try drying your sink very thoroughly, maybe even using the blow dryer on it! Then spray the dried sink with Pam or some other type of non-stick cooking spray. As long as you don't get the spray in or on your hair BEFORE the coloring process it shouldn't affect your color. IF you try this let us know if it works :>) !!

Thank you all for your replies. I can see I'm not the only one with this problem. Finally, I have made some progress. Have done the following 3 times and most of the stain is gone. 1. Clean the sink or area and thoroughly dry. 2. Make a paste of pure chlorine bleach and ajax. 2. Apply to the affected area with a dry white cloth (something absorbent, such as an old cotton towel). Apply liberally, gently rubbing in as you go. 3. Leave on for about 30 minutes/more if needed. 4. Rinse with the cloth you used thoroughly and allow to dry. Do again the next day and so on.
NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS: HOW TO AVOID GETTING STAINS IN THE SINK WHEN I DYE MY HAIR? ANY IDEAS ANYONE.
Thanks again for all your suggestions. I hope these have helped us all. Anjeena

I also used hair dye in my bathroom and it dripped on the light colored cabinet. I cannot remove it. I tried ajax, mr. clean eraser, bleach, clorox cleaner with bleach. ammonia, nail polish remover. It will not come out either. I am sure they will take the cost of replacing this cabinet out of my security deposit when I move.
Editor's Note: I used oxiclean and rubbed the crystals into some stains on my formica kitchen countertops and it removed some old stains. It's worth a try. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Did you try one of the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers? Seems to work well on a lot of things.

Anti dandruff shampoo strips colour from your hair so try it on the sink. Black is especially tricky to move though.
