what kind of dye did you use??

newbie · #3 04-10-2001, 06:37 PM

Arghhh...this is not good, huh? I used PERMANENT--yep...

See, it's b/c semi-permanents and temporary don't do anything to my hair!

hmmmm....maybe some HEAVY duty cleanser from Rite Aid or something. Or call a hair salon and ask them.

I've gotten dye on the wall before and been unable to get it off.

Hey Amy! OK, Let me just get into my email account

. You know what? My mother always dyes her hair--and she gets it over the bathtub and door too--but somehow she manages to get most of it out. There are still spots though, that are visible! But here's the thing--unfortunately, there are 3 streaks on the bathtub--NEW streaks which I'm sure she'll be able to notice right away! I don't know what to do--but maybe I can find some cleaning products in my house! What kind of "heavy duty" cleaners are there? Is Ajax considered one? My mom always uses that to clean the kitchen counters--and it works magnificently! But it has an awful smell, and I think it takes hours to work...ahh!

yeah I think Ajax-- or one of those tub and tile mildew remover with bleach kinda things.

There's this stuff called Goo Be Gone ( i think) in a small bottle. It's kinda a goldish yellow color and it works wonders with stuff like this.

Thanks guys!

Gibbonsgal, where can I find GooBeGone?

Argghhh..this is horrible, I can't find any Ajax!! Yikes...I'm not supposed to go out today/tonight.

Theta-cutie · #12 04-10-2001, 09:16 PM

Yikes...you can't find the Ajax? Hmm...try shampoo!! I've tried that before, but that was when the "stain" was still wet--that worked! try that, hon! BTW, what color did you dye it? Good luck sweetie!!

Sea Breeze, 10-0-6 or one of those other pimple killers with alcohol in it. Just put some on a cotton ball, hold it there for a moment and wipe.

I usually get it all over those silly little carpet bath mats that we all have in the bathroom! Then I run to K-mart and buy new ones! Hope all works out Car!

try nail polish remover--that may do the trick too.
