To remove hair dye from tile walls, you can use a combination of a Magic Eraser and a baking soda and lemon juice paste.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Magic Eraser: Begin by gently scrubbing the hair dye stain with a Magic Eraser. This often works for fresh stains or minor discoloration.
-
Baking Soda and Lemon Juice Paste: If the Magic Eraser isn't enough, create a paste using equal parts baking soda and lemon juice (a 1:1 ratio).
-
Apply the Paste: Apply the paste directly to the hair dye stain on the tile wall.
-
Activate the Paste: Spray the paste-covered stain with either white vinegar or water. This will activate the baking soda and lemon juice, creating a fizzing action that helps lift the stain.
-
Wipe Clean: After a few minutes (allow the paste to sit for about 5-10 minutes), wipe the area with a clean, wet cloth.
-
Repeat if Necessary: If the stain persists, repeat the process.
Important Considerations:
- Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before applying any cleaning solution to the entire area, test it on a small, hidden part of the tile to ensure it doesn't damage or discolor the surface.
- Grout: Be mindful of the grout between the tiles. The lemon juice can be acidic and potentially affect the grout. Rinse the grout thoroughly after cleaning.
- Alternative Cleaners: Other options, depending on the tile material, could include a mild bleach solution (very diluted!) or a commercial tile cleaner designed for stain removal. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
By following these steps, you should be able to effectively remove hair dye from your tile walls.
