Steps that you need to take:

Mix this vinegar thoroughly with water. Next, pour half cup of baking soda, again for every two inches of water. Combination of baking soda with this vinegar water will result in a fizzing action which would consequently result in the removal of hair dye stains.

4.  Afterwards, drain this water and then rinse the tub thoroughly with warm water so that all traces of vinegar and baking soda might be removed.

5.  If the dye stain is stubborn and persists despite the above mentioned stain removal strategy, then you need to get hold of a Resolve Carpet Cleaner or its generic equivalent. Spray this cleaner on stain remnants and it should also be allowed to sit on the stain for 5 to 10 minutes.
