What You’ll Need

Dish soap
A soft brush or toothbrush
A damp cloth
An old toothpaste (optional)

Step 1: Blot

If you have a hairspray stain that is already dry, the first thing you’ll want to do is use a damp cloth to gently blot away any excess hairspray. Then, use a dry cloth to absorb any remaining moisture from the area.

Step 2: Wash

Mix a small amount of dish soap with warm water and apply it to the stained area with a soft brush. Gently scrub for a few minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water. For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat this step several times.

Step 3: Rinse

After washing the area, use a damp cloth to rinse away any remaining soap and dirt. If the stain is still visible, pat the area dry and move on to the next step.

Step 4: Deodorize

If the hairspray has left a lingering smell, sprinkle baking soda over the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a vacuum or dust buster to remove baking soda. Alternatively, you can apply an old toothpaste to area and leave it for a few minutes before wiping away.

Step 5: Polish

Finish up by polishing your ASICS shoes with a dry cloth. This will help to protect the material from becoming damaged in future and will give it a nice shine.

And you’re done!

By following these five easy steps, you can remove pesky hairspray stains from your ASICS shoes in no time! Just remember to be gentle when scrubbing and to give it a few extra tries if the stain doesn’t come out right away.
