I've tried all kinds over the years to remove dye usually from my ears and forehead. All sortsa scrubby stuff to the point where people think I have an allergic reaction to dye coz I'm red for days after from trying to remove it properly but I've got an organic healing shower gel from Cluthas Cave that today removed SFX Deep Purple first time with no scrubbing...I was gobsmacked!  ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
It's free of all nasties and organic so would be ok for sensitive skin ๐Ÿ™‚

I just bought a litre of semi & permanent hair dye stain remover from the beauty supply store when I was getting my bleach etc....it was only ยฃ2.79 i think and is made for getting hairdye off the skin. I tipped some into an old makeup bottle (think I had toner in it originally) and keep it in my bag with some cotton wool pads. Also, if you have any fake tan remover that works well too but only within the first few minutes of staining x

Pure Acetone (the main ingredient in nail polish remover) is wonderful for cleaning & removing tough stains, especially inks/dyes from plastic or other surfaces, just be careful because it is an acid so it mightn't be suitable for most sensitive skin. Should work great on dye stained plastic bathtubs and basins, though just be careful it doesn't lift the tub's colour/finish too!

I usually do that, but I heard it's not so good for your skin, so you should probably wash it off again after.

Clearasill is also good!

To be honest I'm not sure you'll get it out of the fabrics since vegetable dyes are made for dyeing fabrics as-well as hair :/ Guess you could try some vanish or something and  a pre-wash but cant think what else may work that wouldn't ruin the fabric x

I've found that baby wipes work really well if you are prepared to spend time. i've got eczema myself so i have to be careful about what I use on my skin. They don't work wonders, but they do help. Good for getting dye off other surfaces too ๐Ÿ˜€

I dye my hair with directions plum. I have no problem washing it off non hair items. My pillowcases are light and turn purple, I wash them as I normally would, the dye completely washes out ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah I have to wash atomic pink out of my pillow cases today, I hope it comes out as easily as the tropical green did a few months back.
