Our bathroom is very small so we have hairspray build up on the wall. This is non aerosol hairspray. There are spots on the wall and shower door. The shower door comes off but it doesn’t on the wall. Any suggestions?
Just wet the Magic Eraser in warm water and lightly wipe the spots away. Finish by wiping the surface with a clean, damp cloth. Like baking soda, though, these are abrasive so be sure to spot test first. Use rubbing alcohol: Combine equal parts rubbing alcohol and warm water in a bottle and spray it on the wall.
Mix warm soapy water up and clean with a sponge or cloth. Wipe down with clean rag afterwards. You might try a mild shampoo for the "soap" since it is designed to remove hair spray from your hair.
Vinegar diluted with water 1:1 works for me.
Use shampoo and warm water on a kitchen scrub sponge. Wipe with clear water and dry with an old towel.
A friend of mine told me she had success with the thick baby wipes.
Try vinegar or baking soda or even a mixture of both. I had 80’s hair which meant tons of hairspray. Both of those get rid of hairspray buildup so I’m pretty sure it’ll work on walls too.
Alcohol dissolves hairspray
Thanks to everyone for your replies! I’ll give some of the new suggestions I haven’t tried and let you know which one works.
