Thanks so much for the vinegar and baking soda! I spilled dark brown hair dye all over the counter and stairs and my mom wasn't as mad because at least I knew how to get it out. Thanks again!

Baking soda and vinegar worked great. It didn't remove finish. It took a while. I put on rubber gloves & worked baking soda & vinegar paste into the grain of the wood w/ my fingers, then sprayed with vinegar & wiped clean. I had to do it several times. You can't see any sign of stain or discoloration from scrubbing! Thanks - I didn't think it would come out!

I was just in such a panic then found this. I used the magic eraser and it took all the DRIED hair dye right off! Thank you!

Magic Eraser totally works if it's new (few days old). I had it on my cabinets in my bathroom, and was freaking out, wondering how I was going to get it off, before my mom noticed. There was also another dye stain on the kitchen cabinets (a few years old- didn't know what could get it out) and I used the Magic Eraser on it too. I had to rub harder and longer, but it came out. The only thing is that the harder you rub, it starts to take off the varnish (if it's old).

I died my hair dark red on Tuesday night. Today's Friday. I accidentally got it on my wooden vanity. I JUST noticed yesterday, but I had to leave before I could do anything about it. Is it still possible to get it out? I'm so worried. What if it doesn't come out? It's on the door so I suppose I could replace it but that might be expensive.

I just tried the SOS pad, it worked so well! No scratching, and hardly any scrubbing. Thanks!

Thank you, thank you! It works! ALso, if you make a paste with vinegar and baking soda, let it sit for 15 mins before rubbing with SOS pad it that helps too

Holy @#$% Magic Eraser got it out! My floor is older and I was worried it had gone beyond the finish as I had left it over night without noticing! Didn't harm the finish and removed the stain 100% in seconds!

Thanks a mill - the lemon juice and white vinegar really did work, got on my new doors - nearly crying

This really works. Put jifs lemon juice (the one u use on pancakes) and white vinegar in a bowl then get a sponge and scrub where your hair dye is. I did it and it worked.

Thank goodness for this tip! I just dyed my hair and since were renting the house it is a must not to get stains on the wood bathroom counter, within seconds the stain was removed! Thanks all! :]

So if I use an SOS Lemon scrubbing pad it will come out of stained wood already?

This worked wonderfully! I used a generic scrub pads and they worked very well. This saved me from buying lots of expensive removers.

Thanks!!

Hair gel from sofas

Has anyone got any ideas on how to remove hair gel from sofa's? My son regularly likes to sleep on the sofa with his greasy head. It has caused a lot of upset with other occupants in the house!

What is sos? (11/24/2005)

RE: Removing Hair Dye From Wood

S.O.S. are soap pads, either steel wool or a scrubby plastic, with soap in them so when you get them wet, they get nice and sudsy. Susan from ThriftyFun (11/24/2005)

RE: Removing Hair Dye From Wood

Thank you for this tip. I dyed my daughter's hair and there were horrible dark brown stains on the wood floor. I tried all kinds of tricks to get it off from white vinegar to 401 cleaner. Nothing helped one bit until I found this site. Within 10 seconds of scrubbing with an SOS pad I could see it was working! Thank you so much. (10/20/2007)

Thank god for these tips....SOS saved the day it took only a few seconds and the hardwood looks awesome, hair dye gone.. lol "phew".(10/27/2007)

RE: Removing Hair Dye From Wood

My husband was wearing a black jacket and the dye stained a part of his guitar he was playing all night. Do you think SOS would work on his guitar?

Doesn't it scratch? Thank you. Editor's Note: I wouldn't use it on a guitar, it will ruin the finish. You could try a magic eraser, it is slightly abrasive but not as much, then polish the place where you have cleaned. (11/26/2007)

By Marla

RE: Removing Hair Dye From Wood

It worked great. I was concerned until I read it wouldn't scratch. Well the hair dye came up with a little elbow grease and it didn't scratch. My husband will not grumble every time he goes to the bathroom now. Thank you again. (11/29/2007)
