Removing Dye from a Fiberglass Tub

RE: Removing Dye from a Fiberglass Tub Post by carnation037 (6) | (12/09/2007) Contact 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 Post by purrplekat (22) | (12/07/2007) Contact 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 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.
