Hairspray can be a godsend for adding extra hold and volume to freshly styled hair. But the sticky residue left behind after using hairspray can be difficult to remove, even from clothes. And if it’s chambray fabric, then it’s even more of a challenge. Luckily, there are simple ways to tackle such uninvited stains.
Materials Needed
- Stain remover or detergent
- Lemon juice
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
- White cloth
- Iron
- Toothbrush
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: As soon as you spot a hairspray stain on your chambray material, act quickly by spraying a generous amount of stain remover or detergent. Then, use a white cloth to rub it lightly into fabric. Allow the liquid to sit for at least 15 minutes.
Step 2: Fill a spray bottle with water, lemon juice, and vinegar (in equal parts). Shake well and then spray the solution all over the stained area. Rub it with a clean cloth to work it in.
Step 3: Create a paste by mixing a tablespoon of baking soda with a little bit of water. Apply it to the stained area and spread it around with a toothbrush. Leave it on for a few minutes.
Step 4: Rinse the fabric under cold running water. Use your fingers or an old toothbrush to work the paste out of the fabric.
Step 5: Place the fabric on an ironing board and set the iron to “warm.” Place a damp cloth on top of area and press the iron down for about 40 seconds. This will help activate the baking soda and draw out stain.
Step 6: Once the stain is gone, take the chambray piece outside and hang it up in the sun. The sunshine will help get rid of any lingering odors or residue and bring back the original color of the fabric.
