    Pour some rubbing alcohol onto a lint-free cloth, such as microfiber, then wipe it over the affected wood. Following up with a damp cloth removes any remaining residue. After that, dry it off with another a lint-free cloth.....Shampoo also works to remove hairspray from wood furniture. Pour a small amount on a damp cloth, then rub it over the affected areas. Wipe clean with another damp cloth. If the hairspray is particularly stubborn, rub a white toothpaste (not gel) over the area with a toothbrush, cleaning up the area with a damp sponge afterwards. Dry the furniture with a soft cloth.

    I buy cheap hair conditioner to get the hairspray over spray off my bathroom floors. I add some to my mop water and it's completely dissolved. It might work for furniture too.

    Magic Erase removes it every time! But before you go and wipe the whole thing down, do a sample somewhere on the furniture to make sure the magic erase doesn't fade the furniture. But seriously, I really love M.E., and I practically use it on everything in my house!

    I have had success with rubbing alcohol, but test in an inconspicuous spot first.

    My mother used an old home remedy and it actually worked for her.

    She took a teaspoon of mayonnaise from the jar and rubbed it directly on the affected area and let it stand for approximately 10 minutes.

    Then she took a soft dry cloth and rub the area gently and it was as new again.

    I’ve been having an ongoing challenge with hairspray over spray landing on my fiberglass tub. Nothing seemed to break it down. Today, a thought crossed my mind.........shampoo takes hairspray residue out of my hair. I put some shampoo in a small bucket and added hot water. One swipe with a sponge and the residue is gone!
