Danielle said, “how to get hairsoray build up off bathroom doos and counter tops ?”

Unfortunately, using hairspray will almost always result in some over-spray, which when used repeatedly it in the same place, could lead to build up. Select one of the cleaning methods below to remove the hairspray, and continue trying other methods if needed until the spray is removed.

Removing the Hairspray

You Will Need:

  • Rubbing alcohol
  • White vinegar
  • Baby shampoo
  • Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
  • Glass cleaner
  • A dryer sheet

Steps to Remove the Hairspray:

  1. Pour some rubbing alcohol on a cloth and wipe the area with the cloth.¹
  2. Combine equal parts of water and white vinegar. Dampen a cloth with the solution and use it to wipe off the hairspray.²
  3. Put several drops of baby shampoo on a damp cloth, then use the soapy cloth to wipe off the hairspray.³
  4. Moisten a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with some water, then use it to wipe off the hairspray.³
  5. Spray some glass cleaner on a cloth and use it to wipe off the hairspray.⁴
  6. Dampen a dryer sheet and use the sheet to wipe off the hairspray. Clean the area with a soapy cloth afterward to remove any residue from the dryer sheet.³

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Always stand in the shower when using hairspray so that the overspray will be rinsed away daily. This is particularly important if you have carpet or rugs in the bathroom, as the hairspray will allow them to gather dirt more easily.¹

    Tried all the solutions you listed to clean dried hairspray off a granite countertop; none worked.
