How do i get brown hair dye off a white leather couch?

You have what is known as dye transfer, the hair colour has redyed the leather. The usual process for removing dye transfer is to use Maxi Cleaner (specifically designed for the job) and if this does not work to call a technician who will have much stronger products to remove it. It depends how far it has penetrated the finish on the leather how easy it is to remove.



The use of a good leather protector (one that works- many don't) will help inhibit this type of thing happening again, as it will be easier to clean off.



It is not a good idea to try anyything else without taking expert advice as sometimes the products you use can contain silicones which may make refinishing impossible, new finish will not adhere to silicones.



Please do not try nail varnish remover, acetones or alcohols as these may make the matter much worse.



A word of caution to all those who post on here with all these household products to try - they do not work and in many cases it will make matters much worse.



Please do not try the colour remover from a hairdresser suppliers, whilst this is harmless to skin, leather is not skin and this product will destroy the finish that has been used on the leather.

do NOT use acetone on leather. it will dry it out..{ i am a licenced nail tech}}



instead, goto the beauty supply and get haircolor remover,, it only costs a few bucks.. and one or two applications should do it...



this is the stuff that hairdressers use to get dark hair dye off of skin. forehead ears,, etc... it is mild and will not harm skin or leather....



not the chemical hairdye remover... just the liquid wipe...
