What You'll Need

  • White vinegar or rubbing alcohol
  • Warm water
  • Gentle laundry detergent
  • Soft cloth
  • Towel

Steps to Remove Hairspray from Shearling

  1. Mix one tablespoon of your cleaning solution (either white vinegar or rubbing alcohol) with one quart of warm water. Do not use a hot water setting!
  2. Dampen a soft cloth with the mixture and dab gently at the stained area, making sure not to rub too hard or saturate the fabric.
  3. Rinse the cloth in warm water and dab the area again, making sure to go against grain of the fabric. This helps to remove any remaining hairspray residue.
  4. If the stain still persists, add a small amount of gentle laundry detergent to the cloth and continue to dab at the stain until it’s gone.
  5. Once the stain is gone, rinse the area with clean, warm water, using a towel to soak up any excess moisture.
  6. Allow the fabric to air dry and enjoy your stain-free shearling!

Additional Tips & Tricks

  • Always test cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first.
  • Be sure to treat hairspray stains as soon as possible. If left to sit, they may become more difficult to remove.
  • Always use a gentle, mild detergent when cleaning shearling as harsher products could damage fabric.
  • Be sure to brush the fabric regularly, as this helps to refresh the fabric and keep it looking like new.
