What You’ll Need

Clean, dry towels
Dish detergent
Soft-bristled brush

Step 1: Blotting

The first step in removing hairspray stains is to blot away as much of the excess product as possible. To do this, take a dry towel and gently press down on stain until it is blotted up. Do not rub or scrub the fabric as this can cause the stain to spread.

Step 2: Treat with Dish Detergent

Next, make a solution of equal parts dish detergent and warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution, then lightly press the cloth onto the stain. The soap and water should help to loosen up any remaining remnants of hairspray. Let the solution sit on the fabric for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Step 3: Soft-Bristled Brush

Once the stain has been treated and rinsed, use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away any remaining residue. Make sure to go in a gentle circular motion so that the fabric isn’t damaged. Once all of the residue has been removed, rinse fabric with cool water once again.

Step 4: Drying

Finally, lay the fabric flat on a clean, dry towel and let it air dry. Do not use a hairdryer or any other heat source as this can cause the stain to set further into fabric.
