Hair dye is difficult to remove with affecting the original colour of the carpet. However dilute hydrogen peroxide is the best. You know it its what hair dressers use to bleach womens hair. Start ver weak 2 % and increase the strength. Extract out each time but take care not to affect the ground shade.

Depends what type of hair dye. Once came completely out with a dry solvent (loads of spots all over the landing). More often nothing shifts it.

Nick,

Do you use your darts to retuft and if so would an average player like myself be any good at it?

Cheers
