Removing hair dye stains in bathroom?

My teenage daughter dyed her hair earlier today in her bathroom and left a mess of dye everywhere. And unfortunately it was several hours before I found it so it had plenty of time to set in.
It wiped off the ceramic tile pretty easily, but not so easily removed off the quartz countertop, bathroom cabinet, sink, wall, and baseboard.
Magic Eraser got it off the cabinet for the most part, but won’t get it off the drywall, baseboard, sink, or countertop. Any suggestions on what I can try to remove the stains that won’t cause more damage?
Needless to say, she’s in a world of trouble right now.

Pink Stuff might be worth trying, maybe stainless steel pot/pan powders (usually have oxalic acid in them). SoftScrub too. Might have to experiment with cleaners and/or solvents to find one that works but also check with the manufacturer of that product to see what they'd recommend.

You might try ChatGPT….it has quite a few suggestions and precautions.

What'd she do, put dye in her hair and then shake it really good?

Try rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on the sink. You are probably SOL on the counter top. It’s porous.

Starting to think that. At least its in a Jack and Jill bathroom, so its only a small slab of countertop and shouldn't be noticeable if I can't get an exact match to the existing countertops that are in the rest of the house.
The stain isn't quite as bad as it originally was, but still very noticeable.
quote:Got the sink stain off with bleach, but was advised not to use bleach on the counter top. Counter top professional recommended trying acetone and then rinsing good with water. Said to rinse and repeat 2x a day for a few days but if that didn't work, I was probably SOL.

Good to know they recommended acetone on the counter top! My advice came from my own experience… I dye my hair at home and have really cheap “quartz” that is really porous and I have a few speckles of hair dye on it. I have been too gun shy to try the acetone but will try it tonight and report back

She heavily emphasized to make sure I rinsed it off thoroughly with clean water after wiping with acetone.

Now she cares about the countertops?

No, the lady from the counter top store said make sure to rinse the acetone off thoroughly

Ok acetone took off a small permanent marker stain which is great. No luck on my end for hair dye. Hopefully better for you!!

ChatGPT recommends hydrogen peroxide (among other things).

Mix dawn dish soap and baking soda, make a paste, then scrub and leave on for a few hours/overnight. I did it with some other types of red stains we got on our quartzite countertops and it worked, maybe it will work on dye.

My wife did this in Halloween. however it was pink spray that is for costumes.
We have similar counters but mine are quartzite. She made a baking soda paste, scrubbed it in and left it there. Seems to be coming up. But it was everywhere. The grout didn’t like the cleaner it seems.
I would just paint the drywall and definitely the baseboard. I’m a bathroom with the lighting it will hardly be noticeable if you just touch up.
