3. Mix a solution of equal parts baking soda and white vinegar, applying it directly to the stained area. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down the dye. The effervescence from the vinegar and baking soda reaction can help lift the color from the surface.
4. If the stain persists, try using rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on a cotton ball and gently rub the affected area. Check regularly as you do this to ensure that you are not causing any damage to the finish of your tub.
5. For tougher stains, you might need to use a bit more elbow grease. Create a paste with baking soda and a bit of water, then use a soft sponge or cloth to scrub the stained area. It's important to avoid abrasive tools that can scratch the bathtub.
6. After scrubbing, thoroughly rinse the bathtub with water to ensure no cleaning agent residues are left behind.
7. In stubborn cases, you may consider using a commercial bathroom cleaner specifically designed to tackle tough stains. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and test on a small, inconspicuous area first to prevent any damage.
8. Once the dye is removed, clean the entire bathtub with your regular bathroom cleaner to restore shine and remove any remaining cleaning residue.
