    Tile Dye

    Gee don't rush to get it off or anything..ha ha. I wouldn't want to see you damage the finish on your tile so before you use anything do a test in a spot nobody will see. Also, if you have really porous (not shiny) tile you could really damage the tile...but use this: 2 cups Oxyclean (mix the powder with hot water) then add 1/4 cup bleach. Put it on the stain for a few minutes and wipe off...if the stain is real stubborn, try using a toothbrush to scrub it off.

    you cant, I know this for a fact, I dyed my hair a few times, and had gotten it on the shower tile, the next day I scrubbed and scrubbed and kept trying for well over a year, nothing gets it out, I tried about 20 different cleaning supplies I finally had to relace the tiles. sorry, but if you try you're only going to waste your time and effort.

    If your tile is glazed ceramic, try rubbing alcohol, or slightly diluted bleach - just try not to breathe it in. Test anything in an unseen corner.

    Ammonia might work, or else white vinegar, just be careful.

    Use WD-40 spray on and leave for about fifteen minutes then wipe off then wash with dishwashing liquid and hot water to take the slipperyness away Good Luck !

    I used nail polish remover and it worked! I would just rinse the area with water after using it though so it won't sit on the surface and eat away at the surface.
