  1. Mix one teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent with two cups of warm water. Agitate the mixture until it forms a light foam.
  2. Gently rub the stained area of your dress with a soft cloth or brush. Do not rub harshly.
  3. Place the cloth or brush into foamy water and rub gently. Make sure to rinse the cloth or brush often.
  4. After all of the hairspray is gone, use a clean damp towel to blot the area.
  5. Allow dress to air-dry completely. Do not put the garment in the dryer; doing so may set stain.

If you're still having trouble getting rid of the stain, try using a commercial stain remover. Follow the directions on package for best results.
