Try a mix of dawn soap and vinegar. You might want to let it sit on the stain a bit to see if it will come off. If it’s a really stubborn stain - you can try peroxide and water - but that can also bleach so it’s best for light carpets. You might want to test a section!
1. Mix one tablespoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water.
2. Using a clean white cloth, sponge the stain with the detergent/vinegar solution, blotting frequently with a dry cloth until the stain disappears.
3. Sponge with cold water.
4. Blot until the liquid is absorbed.
5. Sponge the stain with rubbing alcohol. Blot to remove the stain.
6. Sponge with cold water.
7. If the stain remains, mix one teaspoon of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and one tablespoon of ammonia with two cups of warm water. Sponge the stain with this solution. Leave it on the stain for at least 30 minutes, blotting every five minutes with a clean white cloth and more solution.
8. Sponge with cold water and blot dry.
Worth a Try on Fabric
If you can't launder the hair-dye stain immediately, grab the hairspray and saturate the fabric. The alcohol in the hairspray helps loosen the stain. As soon as you can, soak and then launder the stain.
Worth a Try on Carpet or Upholstery
If the hair-dye stain doesn't completely disappear on carpet or upholstery, use an eye dropper to apply hydrogen peroxide. (Test the hydrogen peroxide in a hidden spot for safety first.) Let dry for 24 hours, and then repeat, if necessary. If this treatment removes the original color of the carpet or upholstery along with the stain, try using a felt-tip fabric marking pen (available in craft stores) as close as possible to the original color to fix the stained area. Check the ink color on a clean white cloth before applying it to your carpet or upholstery.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...
