Follow these steps to remove food coloring and hair dye stains from Cotton and Linen:

* Soak in a solution of 1 quart warm water, 1/2 teaspoon dishwashing detergent, and 1 tablespoon ammonia for 30 minutes.
* Rinse with water.
* Apply rubbing alcohol and tamp (the method of bringing a brush down with light strokes on stained durable fabrics and materials) or scrape (the method of using a scraping tool to gently lift off excess solid or caked-on stains).
* Keep the stain moist with alcohol and blot occasionally.
* Continue as long as stain is being removed.
* Flush with water and allow to dry.
* Launder as soon as possible.
