01

Why the pipe objects

Leftover dye and developer are concentrated chemical products, unlike the diluted rinse from label-directed use.

02

Do this instead

Use only as directed, keep leftovers in labeled containers and follow the package or local hazardous-waste instructions.

03

Already did it?

Do not mix in another product or attempt to neutralize it. Ventilate if the label directs, keep people and pets away, and call your local wastewater or hazardous-waste authority.
