Manic Panic® hair colors can stain anything that is porous (just like your hair!) so it is best to cover your surfaces and anything you don’t intend to color with, tin foil, newspaper, or hair dye towels to ensure you do not get any unwanted staining on your home surfaces. Always rinse your hair under a faucet and away from your face. We do not recommend rinsing your freshly colored hair in the shower, as this can cause the color to splatter and stain your shower walls & tub. Some bathroom surfaces are more porous than others – better to be safe than sorry! If you do see color starting to get all over the shower, spray and soak with bleach based cleaner as quickly as possible and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before rinsing.
Here are a few tricks to get color out of surfaces:
- Mr. Clean Magic Erasers live up to their name! Just rub the area with a dampened one and watch the stain disappear.
- Bleach or bleach-based cleaning sprays work best on tough stains.
- Rub toothpaste with a rag or old toothbrush in circular motions with a little warm water
- Nail polish remover can work on some surfaces but may strip paint so be careful with this one!
