Step 1: Blotting

Gently blot the stained area with a damp cloth. This will help to lift the hairspray residue off the fabric. Avoid rubbing, as this may spread the stain further.

Step 2: Pre-Treat with Detergent

Apply a pre-wash detergent, such as Spray & Wash, directly onto the hairspray stain. Rub the detergent into the fabric and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Wash

Place the garment in the washing machine and set to a gentle cycle. Allow the garment to air-dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Step 4: Post-Treat with Stain Remover

If the stain persists, apply a stain remover, such as Shout, directly onto the affected area. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes before laundering again.

Additional Tips

Use a gentle, sulfate-free detergent only.
Avoid using a dryer sheet, as this may cause the stain to set.
For best results, treat stains immediately upon occurrence.
