How to Get Hair Dye out of Carpet?

Hair dye can be an incredible tool to express yourself. However, as a dye, it can be very destructive. If it spills, it can change the color of something for a long time. That’s assuming you can get the stain out before it sets. Hair dye spilling into the carpet can seem catastrophic, but there’s hope! Colossal Carpet Care knows the best ways to clean a carpet. There is a DIY solution, but to make sure it gets out you should call a professional.

How to Get Hair Dye out of Carpet? 

To get this done you’ll need an absorbent material like paper towels or normal towels, a vacuum, and some kind of cleaning solution. You’ll most likely wish to move quickly, as the longer you wait the more likely the stain will set. After the stain is set it becomes much harder to remove.

Get as Much Hair Dye up as Possible

If there is excess hair dye it’s critical to clean up as much of it as possible. Gently blot the hair dye with your paper towels, making sure not to rub the carpet. Rubbing the carpet can push the dye deeper into the fibers. Once you’ve gotten as much up as possible, get ready to pour on a cleaning solution.

Choose a Cleaning Solution

There are quite a few different cleaning options for hair dye. However, many of them can end up doing additional damage to your carpets. Vinegar is a classic option, and you’d want to mix one part vinegar and two parts water. Apply the cleaning solution, then blot the area with a towel. After that,  rinse the carpet with cold water. Other cleaning options to pursue are an ammonia mixture, hair spray, or even hydrogen peroxide. However, any or all of these may damage your specific carpet. If you want to keep your carpet in the best shape possible, call a professional.

Vacuum the Area

After you’ve gotten as much as you can out of the carpet, vacuum the area. If a stain persists you can start the process over again. Or, the quickest and easiest way to get the stain out is to contact a carpet cleaning professional.
