So I'm moving house tomorrow and obviously the landlord will be doing an inspection to decide if we can have all of our deposit back or not. I've finished packing today and was quite pleased that I didn't find a single spec of hair dye anywhere....until....I started wiping down the desk. It's one of those cheepy desks covered in some sort of plasticy looking stuff. The desk is white and the stains are orange, although small, they stand out. Does anyone have any tips on removing this or is it a lost cause?
Will be super greatful if anyone can help. I even tried a magic eraser which didn't work hahaha

My normal go to products are rubbing alcohol or more often than not, cif cream cleaner and a scrubbing sponge

If bleach doesn't shift it nothing will. I have actually painted over dye stains in rented houses in the past.

Nail varnish remover?

I've been putting my extra bleach/ peroxide mix that's leftover from doing my roots on any dye spots I see on my white counter and I've been really pleased with how well it works. I figured I might as well put it to good use.

Ah dunno like, bleach will not remove my bathroom dye stains at all - but working with cif will. I have no idea!

Have you tried spraying with bleach cleaner and leaving overnight? Dye removal definitely depends on how fresh the dye is and how porous the surface. I have given up trying to scrub/bleach dye off my bathroom door, I just paint over it all every now and then, same with the bathroom window bottom which always has rings from the bottom of directions tubs.
The worst cover-up job was when I got dye drips on my landlords rather nice rug. I spot bleached it which took the colours in the rug out too, so I coloured it back in with felt-tipped pens, he never noticed lol.
