How to Get Hair Dye Off a Fabric Shower Curtain

A change in hair color can be just the thing to perk up your attitude or give you that extra boost of confidence. While hair dye can enhance your appearance, it does nothing to enhance the look of your fabric shower curtain. If hair dye has splattered onto your shower curtain during application or washing it off, it's best to tend to the stain as soon as possible. You can get hair dye off your fabric shower curtain by using supplies and stain removal techniques that remove the stain, rather than set it.

Paper towels
Heavy-duty laundry detergent
2 buckets
1 cup ammonia
All-fabric bleach

  Look at the shower curtain to ensure the stain has been removed before drying it. If any hair dye stain remains, soak the curtain in a solution made from 1 gallon of cool water and 1/2 cup of all-fabric bleach. Launder it again and dry it according to the directions on the care label.
