How do I clean a fake leather sofa with hair spray on it?
I am a hairdresser at a nursing home and my black leather chair in the shop is full of hairspray buildup Can u please tell me what to use in order to clean this sticky hairspray off this chair. Thank you. Rosemarie Colonero
Use hot water hotter the better wear rubber gloves and a scrubber . It melts the hairspray and makes it look like glue. Hard work but worth it
I use The Salon Chair Guys Saon Chair Cleaner. It's available on Amazon.
My Moms leather chair had thick hairspray buildup on it where she has rested her head as well as taken a nap since shes had it. I tried to clean it with just cleaner but it just turned kinda white & really sticky. I had heard about vinegar & olive oil so I gave it a try with 1 part olive oil & 3 parts vinegar. I put some gloves on(like medical latex gloves) & used a washcloth to let the solution soak into it. The acid in the vinegar breaks up the hairspray I guess because it started coming loose and I could peel off the thickest parts then I scraped it with my nails & the cloth.
For getting hairspray off furniture as well as countertops and makeup bottles use makeup removers nothing expensive but it seems to work for me.

I have a faux leather chair with soaked in hairspray which has hardened. How do you remove it?
A lot of work involved..It got some off but that's all
I first tried using alcohol, but it seemed like the hairspray was even stiffer. I then used dawn diluted in water( making it sudsy). These methods didn't budge the stiff, stickiness.
I have a ghost chair at my dressing table, but this now has a build up of hairspray making it dull. How can I remove this?
Try a Magic Eraser on an inconspicuous spot first.
Is your chair made of polycarbonate?
If so, the manufacturer does not recommend any products but luke warm water and a few drops of a mild detergent like regular Dawn, Woolite, or Dreft. Just a few drops on a white cotton cloth, and rinse well. Be sure to test it somewhere like the foot just to make sure it does not scratch.
These chairs are sturdy and delicate at the same time!
Hope this helps! It will probably take gentle elbow grease to get the hair spray to come off.

Try a leather cleaner like Guardsman
I have hairspray build up on a nice wood sofa table. It has been there quite awhile and just today I figured out it had to be hairspray as that is the area I go to get my husband to spray my hair.
