If you've ever been caught in rain but your hair still looks good, it's likely because of hairspray. Unfortunately, this can result in stains on your coat that are difficult to remove. But with the right approach, you can get rid of these pesky spots and make your raincoat look as good as new.

Step 1: Blot Excess Hairspray Residue

When you notice a stain on your raincoat, the first step is to blot area with a damp cloth. This will help reduce amount of hairspray residue that remains on the fabric. Then, take a clean dry cloth and gently dab the area to further lift off any excess hairspray.

Step 2: Apply Stain Remover

Once you've removed as much of the residue as possible, you'll want to apply a stain remover. Opt for a product that's specifically made for removing hairspray stains from fabrics. Using a clean cloth, apply stain remover to the stained area and let it sit for several minutes.

Step 3: Wash and Rinse

After letting the stain remover sit for a few minutes, it's time to wash and rinse the raincoat. Always follow the recommended instructions on the label when washing delicate fabrics. Once you've finished washing and rinsing, check the stained area to see if the hairspray stain has been successfully removed.

Step 4: Repeat As Necessary

If the stain hasn't been fully removed, repeat Steps 2 and 3 as necessary. You may have to go through the process several times before stain is completely gone. If you find that the hairspray stain still won't come out after multiple attempts, it may be best to take raincoat to a professional cleaner for proper treatment.

Wrapping Up

By following steps outlined above, you can easily remove hairspray stains from raincoats and other delicate fabrics. With the right approach and a bit of patience, you can restore your raincoat to its original condition.
