If your ceramic washbasin is discoloured, you can use various cleaning agents. However, natural materials should not be treated with chemical or abrasive agents. Rinse off hair colour stains immediately with water. If discolouration remains, wipe over it with soap or use an acid-free product. A mixture of baking powder or baking soda and water is suitable for sensitive washbasins.

With all cleaning methods, it is important to test the cleaning agents carefully on an inconspicuous area.
How to avoid discolouration in the sink
To prevent hair dye from accidentally dripping into your sink during application, you can line it with kitchen paper. An old towel also protects against colour splashes.
Do not apply the hair colour directly over the sink. It is best to lay an old towel on the floor to prevent stains from getting onto the floor.
If any colour does get onto your washbasin when dyeing your hair, wipe it away immediately before it can dry.
