    Hi Linda, try these remedies.


    1. Fill your fiberglass tub with hot water; add four to five tablets of denture cleaner to the water. Let the solution sit in the tub overnight. In the morning, drain and wipe clean.
    2. Create a paste from borax and water. Use the paste to scrub the stain clean.
    3. Dampen a clean cloth and pour a bit of baking soda onto it. Scrub the stain with the baking soda-soaked cloth. Rinse and wipe clean.
    4. Spray the stain with 1/4 cup household bleach mixed with water in a 1-quart spray bottle. Allow the bleach to set on the stain until it lessens. Scrub clean with a soft cloth or sponge.

    If the other efforts don't work you can go to Sally Beauty Supply and buy some Clairol Jazzin in clear and apply it to the dyed spots. Let it sit for 20 minutes and see what you get. If that doesn't work buy some Salon Care 40 Volumn Clear Developer (a strong peroxide) apply it to the stains, cover with plastic wrap, and give it as much UV light as you can. Check on the progress every 20 minutes. These are both hair care products so before using either of these products you should test how they effect the finish in an inconspicuous spot. There is a good chance that the dye may be permanent.
