How To - Remove hairspray residue from wooden door

By

Dear Heloise: I bought a house and have been trying to remove hair spray from the wooden bathroom door. How can I do this without stripping the finish?

Dear Paulina: Paulina, I would love to help! Here are a couple of options for you. First, try a little hair shampoo. A small amount on a damp rag might do the trick.

If that doesn't work, mix some baking soda with an equal amount of white toothpaste. Apply to the door with a damp rag in a circular motion. Make sure to test a hidden area first. Baking soda is always a great product to have handy. While working on the door, clean your fiberglass shower, too. Dissolve 4 tablespoons baking soda in 1 quart water for a sparkling-clean shower.
