When hairspray gets onto a kimono, it can leave behind a sticky residue and cause discoloration. To remove the stain, you’ll need to use a mild detergent and lukewarm water to break down the hairspray. First, fill a sink with lukewarm water, then add detergent. Soak the stained area of the kimono in the water for 10-15 minutes. Then, use a clean cloth or soft brush to gently scrub the stain in a circular motion. Once you’ve removed as much of the hairspray as possible, rinse the kimono in fresh water.

If the stain doesn’t come out after trying to wash it, try using a different type of cleaning solution. Rubbing alcohol can help break down the hairspray and dissolve stain. Dilute the rubbing alcohol with some water and apply it to the stain with a cotton ball or cotton swab. You’ll want to work in small circles and be sure not to rub too hard. Once the stain is gone, rinse the kimono in cold water.

For more stubborn stains, you may need to use a vinegar solution. Mix one part white vinegar and two parts water in a spray bottle. Spray stained area of the kimono and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing stain with a clean cloth. Rinse the kimono with cold water once the stain is gone.

Finally, if all else fails, you can try using spot remover. Spot removers are specially formulated for removing tough stains like hairspray and can be found at most drugstores or grocery stores. Follow directions on spot remover packaging carefully, and rinse the kimono thoroughly with cold water after.

With these tips, you should be able to remove hairspray stains from your kimono without any problem. Just remember to be gentle and take your time, and don’t forget to rinse kimono thoroughly after using any type of cleaning solution.
