Removing hairspray stains from an A-line dress is much easier when done immediately after the stain occurs. If the stain has already been left to dry, a few additional steps may be necessary. Here is what you'll need to get started:

  • Mild detergent or dishwashing liquid
  • Stain remover or enzyme pre-soak
  • Soft cloth
  • A bucket or sink filled with lukewarm water

Once you have gathered all the necessary items, follow the steps below:

  1. Blot the stain with a soft cloth, in order to remove and excess hairspray that may remain on the surface.
  2. Mix a solution of warm water, mild detergent, and stain remover and soak affected area of A-line dress for about 15 minutes.
  3. Use a soft brush to gently rub stained area, in order to loosen the hairspray residue.
  4. Rinse the dress and run a gentle cycle in the washing machine, using cold water and a mild detergent.
  5. Air-dry the dress and inspect the remaining stain. If stain persists, repeat steps 1-4.

You can also treat stubborn hairspray stains with an enzyme pre-soak. Follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

Keep in mind, however, that some fabrics, such as satin, silk, and rayon, are more delicate than others and require special care and cleaning methods. If you are unsure of fabric composition of your A-line dress, it's best to take it to a professional dry cleaner.

Now you know how to get hairspray stains out of an A-line dress. With the right supplies and technique, you can make sure your dress stays looking its best.
