Thank you in advance for your helpful responses. I have hairspray embedded on my bathroom lenoleum. Does anyone have any ideas of what to use to get this off? I've tried the Swiffer Wet Jet, Mr. Clean and vinegar, nothing is working.

Thanks,
Brandi

Alcohol works but I don't like the smell. simple green also works and smells better.

I had tried many products for the build up on my bathroom floor. The baking soda paste idea is wonderful. I read the idea went and tried it and I'm back in 10 minutes posting this note. It was so easy, Thank you - Thank you!

I had to do a 3 part process: Doing 1 or 2 squares at a time

Rubbing alcohol with a scrubby sponge,

wiped it off with a paper towel.

I scrubbed it with a corner of a mr clean magic eraser

Finally some windex for shine.

My floor was pretty bad. Thanks for the great tips.

Lemon juice, baking soda and water also works for a natural remedy. Ive heard this works on soap scum too but have not tried it. Im allergic to some cleansers and Im amazed to hear some of the things lemon juice can do.

I myself love the new Magic Eraser. It works for most everything I need it to clean. http://www.homemadesimple.com/mrclean/products/eraser.shtml for all the 411 on this! :) plus, it's like a buck at Walmart.

If all else fails, it may be worth trying the orange hand soap for mechanics. It gets everything out!

But I use that Clorox Clean-Up for almost everything and it gets soap scum and all!

Rubbing alcohol will remove hairspray from linoleum.

I have found mixing Pine-Sol and water removes the hairspray buildup off my bathroom floor and walls. It's always worked great for me.

I would try using Suave Clarifying Shampoo. It's made to remove hairspray & styling products from your hair so I would think if would remove it from the floor. It's also very cheap. A big bottle is only 88 cents at Walmart.

I would make a baking soda paste ( H2o and baking soda) let sit on linoleum, scrub and rinse.

When I was a hairstylist we recommended the same to remove build up from your hair. The mixture desolves the hairspray VERY well!!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
