How to Remove Black Dye Stains
- 1). Wipe away as much of the black dye as you can with a clean white cloth. Start at the outer edges of the stain and work towards the center. Removing excess dye from the surface of the stain will prevent spreading of the dye when you are cleaning.
- 2). Combine one tablespoon of dish washing detergent, one tablespoon of white vinegar, and two cups of cold water. Always use cold water when cleaning stains, warm or hot water could actually set the black dye and make the stain worse. Blot the mixture onto the stain, wait five minutes and blot again. Continue blotting with a clean cloth dipped in this mixture for 30 minutes.
- 3). Blot the area with a clean cloth and some cold water. Continue blotting until all moisture is gone. If the stain remains, move on to the next step.

Blot the area with a clean cloth and cold water to remove all excess moisture. If you can still see the stain move on the the next step.
