Begin by combining 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent and 1 cup of lukewarm water. Use an old toothbrush or cloth to lightly spread the mixture onto the stain, being careful not to rub too hard and damage fabric. Let solution sit on the stain for 15 to 20 minutes.
Once the pre-treatment solution has had a chance to soak into fabric, it's time to wash bandana. Put the item in your washing machine, using a gentle detergent and cold water. Select the gentle cycle, and let washer do its job. Have no fear, gentle detergents are designed for this type of delicate fabric, and will not damage it.
Once cycle is complete, remove the bandana from the washer and pop it in dryer. Set the dryer to the lowest heat setting possible, as using too high of a temperature can harm delicate fabrics. If the fabric is too delicate for drying, simply lay it flat on a towel and allow it to air dry.
The final step is to check and make sure the stain is gone. If it is, you've successfully removed the hairspray and the bandana is ready for use! No more unsightly stains, just a bright, clean bandana.
There you have it! Cleaning hairspray-stained bandanas is a relatively easy process. As long as you follow the steps carefully and take care not to damage the fabric, your bandanas will come back looking as good as new!
