How would you remove hair spray from a stained wood door?

Try mineral spirits based paint thinner.

Denatured alcohol, gentle and protective

I think the same thing that would remove hairspray would also remove the polyurethane - acetone.

My Mother had the same problem, except hers was only from about 2 years without cleaning. I just used very hot water to remove the goo. Afterwards I used a good wood cleaner (Murphy's Oil Soap) and warm water to get rid of any small bits left. It worked fine! I guess the moral of the story is to clean your doors regularly.

In a spot that is not to obvious try this - put a little shampoo on a damp cloth and see if that will rub it off. It takes hair spray out of your hair and I have known some that it worked for. If this doesn't work I would mix baking soda and white toothpaste together, form a paste and with a damp rag rub it in a circular motion. This may do the trick as well. Good Luck

You can try a product called Kurd Kutter. It works wonders on everything. I found it in Home Depot.

Sorry (computer always thinks it’s auto correcting) product is Krud Kutter. Most jobs just spray, wait & wipe. My kind of cleaning🙂

try some Dawn Dish Soap

I'd start with hot water and a cleaner - either Dawn, ammonia, or Mr. Clean type product. If it's still sticky, you might try Goo Be Gone - it works on labels and things like that. Of course, try in an inconspicuous place first. Good luck. :)

Are use a flat mop like the kind that is made of microfiber. I take a small spray bottle, 1/4 Seventh Generation dish soap (lemon or citrus.) I spray that floor in a very small area to test it and mop and in the area I take a microfiber rag that is wet and wipe up where I just mopped. It has always worked for me on my stand wood flooring.
