How to Get (Dried) Hair Dye Out of Wood

Have you ever accidentally spilled hair dye on a wooden counter top or cabinet? Now you can remove any stains from dry hair dye with this easy solution made with 2 household kitchen items.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking Soda
• Vinegar
• Rag

1. Pour one part baking soda into a plastic cup or bowl

2. Add two parts vinegar to the container
   There should be about twice as much vinegar as baking soda
   The mixture should fizz and bubble up
   This is the same reaction that occurs in a model volcano

3. Mix until a paste-like consistency has been obtained
   Add additional baking soda or vinegar if mixture is too thin or thick

4. Hold all four ends of rag in one hand to create a rounded end for dipping into the mixture
   Be sure to get a substantial amount but not too much or it will be too messy

5. Use rag to scrub the stained surface
   Be patient as scrubbing may take several minutes
   Continue until dye is removed

6. Clean up the area
   Wipe surface off or vacuum up any particles
