How to Remove Hair Dye From White Shag Carpet
- 1). Combine two cups of water with one tablespoon of white vinegar and one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing soap. Stir the ingredients in a cup for easy pouring.
- 2). Pour a small amount of the solution over the stained area on the shag carpet.
- 3). Use the clean white towel to blot the area. By applying pressure, you will absorb the dye into the towel. Continue to blot until most or all of the stain disappears.
- 4). Add more of the cleaning solution and blot repeatedly if the stain persists.
- 5). Cover the stained area with cold water and soak it up with a dry portion of the white towel. Depending on the materials that your shag carpet is made of, you can use ammonia as a final spot treatment for particularly stubborn stains. Carpets made of wool or treated nylon fibers should not be cleaned with ammonia. On all other types of carpet, do a spot test in an inconspicuous area to make sure there are no adverse effects.
