How to Remove Hairspray Stains from Suits
- Start by cleaning up any excess hairspray before beginning the stain removal process. Use a cloth or paper towel to carefully dab away at the area. Make sure to avoid rubbing as this can make the stain worse.
- Mix together a solution of warm water and liquid detergent. Using a soft-bristled brush or cloth, gently scrub at the area until the stain is gone.
- For more stubborn stains, you may need to use a stronger cleaner. Try using white vinegar or an alcohol-based cleaner. Apply directly to the area and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before gently scrubbing with a brush or cloth.
- Once the stain is gone, rinse the suit in cool water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any cleaning product residue. Allow the suit to air dry before wearing.
Tips for Preventing Hairspray Stains
- Keep hairspray away from your suit. If you’re going to be using hairspray, cover your suit with a towel or other cloth to protect it from the spray.
- Wear an apron or smock when styling your hair to protect your clothing from hairspray.
- Avoid sitting down in areas where there is a lot of hairspray being used. These areas can become saturated with the product and lead to staining.
- Take good care of your suit. Cleaning and pressing your suit regularly can help keep it looking its best and reduce the chances of staining.
