Q & A: REMOVING HAIR SPRAY Tricky

Q: The mirror in my bathroom door is covered with hair spray. How can I delete it?

_E.M., Wadsworth, Ohio

A: I have received several questions like yours lately, so it's time to reprint some information I shared a few years ago.

It is difficult to hair spray different brands have different formulas, which do not all respond the same cleaning methods. Here are some substances that can remove the gunk, gathered from chemists, cleaning authorities and my own experience:

~ A solvent-based Orange like Goo Gone.

_Ammonia And water.

_Mineral Spirit.

_Rubbing Alcohol.

~ A microfiber cleaning cloth that has been wet with plain water and wrung out.

_One Part fabric softener and two parts water.

_More Hair spray, believe it or not. If you know what brand of hair spray, causing congestion, you can turn the area repeatedly with the same product to try to soften the old stuff, wiping it off immediately after each application.

People who took out hair spray from the surface coated with paint, varnish or other finish should test the remover on an inconspicuous area.
