    Thanks will give it a try.

    Have tried shampoo, surface wipes and nail polish remover on a cotton pad so can pop some diluted bleach on that I guess.

    Its ammonia free the hair dye so bleach should lift it I guess? Don't own any bleach ?

    Well this has given me cause to look at a comedy gift I received about household management...?

    "Cleaning marks caused by dyes is difficult. Rinse with cold water and treat with liquid detergent. If the stain persists, apply household ammonia, methylated spirits or amyl acetate."

    Not sure what any of that actually means!

    My sister's a hairdresser and says that if hair dye gets on skin, rub cigarette ash on it, mixed to a paste with water. Maybe something like that could help?

    I thought you were going to suggest something involving alcohol but I guess fag ash is close enough ?

    Personally, I'd just paint the radiator.

    Cillit Bang did not shift it.

    Paint the radiator it is because my landlady scares me silly!

    Dab on a tiny amount of neat bleach. Use a cloth or kitchen paper and only dab it onto the stain. Leave it. Don't wipe, fiddle or spread it, just leave it for a couple of hours. Then rinse it off with clean water. I bet the stain has gone or faded.

    Failing that. Paint the radiator.
