Clean with Soap and Water
The most effective way to remove hairspray stains from earplugs is to use a mild soap and water solution. Place the earplugs in a small bowl of warm, soapy water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes. Afterward, simply rub with a soft cloth to remove any remaining residue. If the stains are particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the process a few times.
Alcohol and Acetone
If the soap and water method doesn't do trick, try using rubbing alcohol or acetone (nail polish remover). Simply dab a cotton swab in either one of these liquids and rub it directly onto the stained area. Be sure to use caution when handling these hazardous materials; avoid contact with skin and eyes. Once the stains are gone, rinse earplugs in warm water, dry them off, and enjoy the results.
Prevent Stains in the Future
To prevent future stains from hair products, always be sure to wear earplugs before applying any styling products. This will ensure that hairspray or other product never comes into contact with the earplugs.
