Rubbing alcohol will take it right off! Pour some on a paper towel & rub it directly on the hairspray. Melts it right off!

Isopropyl alcohol (works the quickest) or a baking soda solution and then wash with distilled vinegar for a streak free shine. I was a hairstylist for 35 years and either works like a charm. ;-)

Mix baking soda and warm water in a spritz bottle and clean your mirrors, counters or floors. Told to me by my hair dresser.
Good luck I personally know it does work!

To clean the mirror in bathroom when it has hair spray on it, use warm water on a rag and wipe it good. Then use paper towels or a dry rag to dry it. This works GREAT! By Sandra

Rubbing alchohol works great also. (06/24/2004)

RE: Cleaning Hairspray of a Bathroom Mirror

I recently saw a show where they coated a clean bathroom mirror with shaving cream, then wiped it off. It kept the mirror from fogging up, the next time the shower was used. Sounds like it might prevent the hairspray from sticking to it, too. It's worth a try! (12/31/2004)

To clean hairspray easily off a mirror, scrape the surface with a straight edged razer blade, then wipe clean. Unfortunately this will not work for any surface that will be damaged by the razer blade. (11/19/2006)

RE: Removing Hairspray from a Bathroom Mirror

Try using Dissolve AP cleaner. You can find it in Sally's or any beauty supply house. Make sure you don't confuse it with Fuller's Dissolve, this is not the same thing (I've made the mistake once). It works unbelievably well at getting the hairspray up off any surface, not just mirrors. The company that makes it is Agility Group, you can purchase it online, too. (05/16/2007)

Windex and Magic eraser. I own a cleaning company and this works better than anything I've tried. It's easier too. (05/17/2007)

How do I remove hair spray buildup from my bathroom mirror?


I am trying to get hairspray off of mirrors. I've tried alcohol, hot water, and Magic Eraser. Some of these things work sometimes, but not all the time.
