HELP!!! OMG a disaster with my new boots!!

[drinkmoretea]

I can't friggin believe it, I have just manage to get semi permanent hair dye down my new leather boots. They are tan dye was dark brown just want to cry

Please tell me there is a way to get it out???

It's not going to come out.... sorry! Get some leather dye and dye them dark brown - it's probably the only answer. Dark brown is the new tan!

I've only worn them twice! and first time I've found boots to fit my calf

Do you think a cobblers or even a dry cleaners could do anything??

Oh no! You could try nail polish remover. Is it very noticeable?

God, if I had their number I would!!

Well, I know nail varnish remover (acetone) and sanisiting hand gel removes hair dye from skin.

Ppl on here got dye on a leather sofa.

Leather is so pourous and hair dye is so heavily pigmented that it's not going to come out - sorry.

Is it very noticeable?

Can you have the boots dyed?

Just read heated's link, quick get the nail varnish remover!

Lemon juice can also get it off skin... Maybe try that before the nail polish remover?? Poor you

Hairspray is meant to get dye out - my hairdresser does it on her clothes but not sure how it would be on leather. It's the alcohol in it apparently.

So sorry to hear that, you know at the hairdressers they always use a solution on my skin to remove any specks of dye, perhaps you could contact a salon? I imagine if it is suitable for skin, it should be ok for leather/suede.

If not, would suggest a dye job....

ok, update

Nail polish remover took some colour out of the boot but left the stain

Lemon juice didn't work

Will look for some hairspray but fear it's now too late

Was about to polish boots with wax too, but thought I'd do my hair first!

Just want to cry.......
