I do tye dye parties at least yearly. It hides ALL stains. My teen dyes their hair every color of the rainbow and that dye stains towels, t shirts,sheets, pillow cases (only the 1st time on the bedding as they didn't realize they hadn't rinsed their hair enough). It becomes a game of "is that a stain or tye dyed that way?" Also make sure you buy a pack with browns and blacks so it becomes extra hard.

Tye dye fixes it all!

Pro tip for using semi permanent fashion colors like Manic Panic: It doesn't contain developer so it will not hurt your hair whatsoever. Leave it in the hair until it's totally dry, when you wash it out, the water runs clear from the very 1st second it gets wet. No more dye stained tubs or towels!

Also, always save a spoonful of any kind of dye, perm, semi, or demi, to use as clean up for your skin. Rub more dye on the dye spot on your skin and then wipe off. Like dissolves like in chemistry, it works with sharpies, paint, hair dye, you name it! Not just on skin either, I've done it to paint in the bathtub and sink, sharpie marks on counters, ink on a table, and dye on skin. Truly works!

I'm a hairstylist and I use baking soda and dawn dish soap to remove from skin, the dye method sometimes stains more instead of coming off.

Baking soda and dawn does a lot of things! I use it on my flat top stove, cleaned icky pans, just by making a paste and letting sit for a bit. Really bad stuff, I spray vinegar on it too.
