My cat started playing with my hair dye and now he is covered in just for men...how do I get it out?

I have issues...





This morning, I dyed my hair using just for men. I've always used it in the shower and it works great.





I took left the applicator in the shower this morning, which was about 1/2 full....





I my wife called me a while ago, apparently my white cat got into the dye and it is ALL OVER HIM!!!! What is worse, its was on his paws, so I now have dye prints all over the walls, floor and counter.





My wife CAN'T get the stains out of the furnature or the cat....





I figure I could dye the cat to finish the job...but how to I get it out of the furnature???My cat started playing with my hair dye and now he is covered in just for men...how do I get it out?
It's really tough. No answers for the furniture.





but lol about the cat. reminded me of Pepe Le Pew's female target getting a white stripe down her back.





Good luckMy cat started playing with my hair dye and now he is covered in just for men...how do I get it out?
Get the cat to the vet as the dye is poisonous to it. Get your furniture recovered, or try rubbing alcohol, or hair spray to get the stains out. This might work, that's what I use to remove ink stains from clothing.
Permanent hair dye is almost impossible to get out. Getting it with warm water and detergent while it is still wet is your best bet, but you probably won't get all of it. Give the cat a bath and call the vet too see if they have any ideas. Hydrogen peroxide might get it out of the white cat but I'd want to check with the vet on a safe formulation before trying it.
Try Clorox eraser sponges for the walls, floors and counter tops. It takes almost anything out.





You may want to test a spot on the furniture before using the Clorox sponge as it may damage the finish. You can also try fantastic citrus or regular orange juice on the furniture (test a spot first). Let it stay on for a few minutes and then use a damp rag to remove.





Wash the cat, don't use the dye on him as it may poison the cat and then you will have a hefty vet bill.





Good luck.
go to ask jeeves and try and find out if there is a solution for the hairdye on the couch and such but as for the cat? im not too sure about that one maybe calling a groomers and having them assess the damage might be helpful it might be a little pricey but whatever works i guess
you dont, when it sheds the dye will come out with the hair


just like normal hair
get some of that oxy clean in a tub. mix it with some water to make it look like a paste. it worked great getting rust off a stainless steal sink.





try using a bissel cleaner to get the stains out.
Definitely just give your vet a call or any vet, in general you can find one who will tell you if it's an actual health emergency or not. It's possible the dye will just remain on the cat until the hair grows out, and you might even want to see about doing a shave (depending of course on the weather and how forgiving your feline is).





A few years back my lovely cat showed me some love while I was using Nair on my legs. Half of his face was hairless, whiskers and all, afterwards. I was freaked, but called a local vet and was reassured he would be fine. And he was! He remembers the smell of Nair and comes nowhere near me now when I'm using it.





Good luck!
call the vet about the cat





as far as the furniture.....good luck!
I would reccomend pet shampoo to wash the chemicals out, you don't want your cat to ingest that stuff, it could make him sick.


And then wait it out. It'll wear off over time as your cat sheds.





The furniture on the other hand? Get what you can of it out, blot don't scrub to prevent the stain from getting bigger, but it's probably too late unless it's white furniture and you can bleach it safely. Your best options are probably to reupholster the furniture or find a nice fabric covering for it, or throw a blanket over it. Dye will stain fabric very easily, even skin and fingernails too. That's why I have a shirt I keep on hand that I only wear when I'm dying my hair, so I don't ruin any shirts. And I use petroleum jelly around my hairline to help color inside the lines and not mess up and dye my ears. You gotta wipe that stuff up asap or it will stain.


If it's too tough for stain removers, you can cover up the spots or reupholster.





You would have better luck getting candle wax out of carpet. Literally.
You can try oxyclean {On the furniture,not the cat LOL}


But for a semi permanent coloring like that you might be stuck with it.


Depending on the fabrics Rit dye has a color remover that might do the trick.


Local stores usually carry it like Wal-mart etc.
