Wipe away the drip as soon as you see it, using an old towel. It's likely that even if you catch it immediately, there will be a visible stain where the drip landed, if you're using a dark hair dye.

Soak a cotton pad with rubbing alcohol and lay it on top of the stain. Wait one to two minutes.

Remove the wet pad and rub the area with a clean cotton pad until the stain has faded. You may need to repeat the steps if you didn't catch the stain right away.

Apply chlorine bleach to the stain if rubbing alcohol doesn't remove it. Let bleach sit on the stain until it fades, then rinse.

TIP

If you don't have rubbing alcohol on hand, use nail polish remover.

WARNING

Chlorine bleach can damage fabrics, so be careful not to let it contact your clothing, if you use it to treat a tile stain.
