# Removing Hair Color From a Wood Surface
You want your hair coloring to seep into your hair but not necessarily anything else around you. Unfortunately, a hair coloring mishap can result in a dye stain on your wooden floors or wood countertop. While these stains are difficult to remove, you can still lift hair dye from porous wood surfaces if you have the right materials and if you act quickly. The longer you wait, the more the hair coloring sets into the wood surface and becomes almost impossible to remove.
