Removing red hair dye from bathroom floor?

I colored my hair using a red hairdye, and stupid me, some of the dye got onto the linolium bathroom floor. The linolium is mostly white. I didn't catch this until bit later in the evening. Will using a clorox cleaner (already has bleach in it) work in getting the stain out, or would it be better for me to use regular bleach? I'd like to have the stain totally gone before my roommate comes home in a few days.





Lesson learned: ALWAYS wear old clothing and cover the bathroom floor and sink with old towels or newspaper.Removing red hair dye from bathroom floor?
lay a napkin down on the stain


pour some bleach on the napkin just to soak it


let it sit a few minutes or longer


lift napkin, stain gone.


have the same problem at least once a week.Removing red hair dye from bathroom floor?
Rubbing Alcohol
use some baking soda mixed with a little bit of water. If that does not work try mixing some bleach with toothpaste, do not try this if your floor is a dark color because there is a chance that the bleach might lighted the color of the floor.


xox
Try the clorox cleaner first. red hair dye is tough to get out. sprain it on and let itr sit several minutes. If the tile is really purous it might not come all the way out.
Try Lestoil. It works on almost everything. Let it sit for a while.
Red hair dye?.......... or blood? did you kill someone in the bathroom and need help cleaning up the evidence....lol








Sorry dont really know much about cleaning up either of them.
Spill some chlorine bleach on the bathroom floor and let it sit there, and all the stains will disappear in under 30 minutes. (Make sure to ventilate the bathroom unless you want to pass out from the fumes.)





If your bathroom floor is not bleach-safe, use peroxide creme developer (the same kind you dye your hair with) on a rag. Get on your hands and knees, and scrub.
Try using diluted bleach. My wife does and her success rate is phenomenal!
Is it linoleum or vinyl? That makes a difference in the treatment of the stain.


Try pouring rubbing alcohol directly on the stain.


Here's a resource for you:

Umm.. try some soft scrub with a nail brush. See if that works.
There's a few ways to do it...comet and bleach paste or clorox softscrub-bleach, use one of those scrubby spongey pads. I hear a mr. clean eraser is the thing to own.
this is going to sound weird but toothpaste (works for me)
try a mr clean eraser--they work incredibly well for anything and they don't damage things!
straight bleach. it may not work though.
Important hair color advice everyone should know!!





color removes color,





I don't soppose you have any of the hair color left in the bottle????? if you do use a little of that on a cotton ball and rub it on the stain, sounds crazy I know.... But trust me it works! It also works well to remove hair color stains on your skin.


Good luck.
Bleach is the only thing that will really touch it. If the stain is still there, then it's going to stay there to remind you to be more careful in the future.


Perhaps you can surprise your roommate with a bathroom throw rug?
the floor is stained permanently, but over time it will lighten. good lesson. cover it with a rug to hide the stain.
