Removing Dye from a Fiberglass Tub |
|
|
I just finished dying slip covers in my fiberglass tub. The directions on the dye said not to do this, but... Well, they were right, now the tub is stained and I can't seem to get the dye out. Does anyone know how to get it out?

RE: Removing Dye from a Fiberglass Tub
I agree with the baking soda and liquid dish detergent. It may take a couple of scrubs but it worked for me.
RE: Removing Dye from a Fiberglass Tub
Not sure if it will work, but here are a couple suggestions: First try baking soda as you would cleanser-it shouldn't scratch the fiberglass, test in a small area first. Next, you can try a thick paste of baking soda mixed with dish detergent. I dyed something in a white enamel sink and this took it out, and also out of a stainless steel sink, where I couldn't even see the color residue. The baking soda almost seemed to absorb the color particles. Might take more than one application, and with all the scrubbing a sponge will probably be more comfortable. Good luck!

I did a similar thing a few years ago and it took me weeks of soaking in bleach and or scrubbing the residue with oxy clean. I messed mine up when I tried to make purple soap using the melt and pour glycerin soap with red and blue food coloring. Each time I took a shower a little more charcoal gray stain would appear. Nasty looking mess! I finally got it clean and I will NEVER do that again.

I don't KNOW if this would work but maybe if you made a strong bleach solution and filled the tub up to the dye line and let it soak for a few hours...maybe.
