How to Clean Hair Dye From Fiberglass Tubs

People often use hair dyes in the bathroom. These hair colors can stain bathtubs and sinks. Some people have fiberglass bathtubs instead of porcelain tubs. The fiberglass is similar to hard plastic, so you have to carefully clean it to avoid scratches or damaging the material. Because of this vulnerability, you cannot clean fiberglass with abrasives. Fortunately, you can clean hair dye stains using items you already have at home. Buying commercial cleansers for fiberglass is not necessary
