Hair dye stains can be tricky to deal with, as the colour sinks deep into the fabric fibres. The sooner you act, the better your chances of success.

Start by rinsing the stain with cold water, then gently rub in some liquid detergent or a grease-cutting washing-up liquid. For more stubborn marks, you can try alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or a stain remover solution – but always test on a hidden area first.

Leave the product to work for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and wash the garment at the temperature recommended on the care label.

Be extra careful with coloured fabrics – stronger chemicals may cause fading or bleaching.
