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?

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.
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.
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 agree with the baking soda and liquid dish detergent.
It may take a couple of scrubs but it worked for me.
I just made my first tie dye tee shirt. Black dye all in my fiberglass tub. My wife was flipping! So I took baking soda and Ajax liquid soap. I sprinkled the tub with the soda then, where the dye was worst, I put the soap.
Totally loved your dish detergent, Ajax and baking soda recipe...thank you for cleaning it up for your wife!!!
Clorox bleach spray (which is diluted for multipupous for you) and a magic eraser
