Tried baking soda work somewhat but extremely labor intensive. Had a can of Pledge furniture polish to use after I removed hair spray. By accident I sprayed on an area where there was hair spray and noticed that it removed most of the hair spray. Throw out the baking soda solution. I then used Pledge on the rest of the job and it worked like a charm and didn't have to worry about furniture finish.

Here's how I did it. I got an old toothbrush sprayed Pledge on about a 2x2 area let it soak into the hair spray about 30 sec. then used toothbrush to loosen the hair spray wiped off with a paper towel and completed the job is no time at all. It actually worked like magic. Hope this helps you out.

The dresser was cherry wood and the hair spray had been caked on for years.

We had our house spray painted not long ago and some wind blew speck of paint on my all glass front door. How can I get this off? HELP!

Editor's Note: In my opinion, your best bet is to get a razor blade for scraping windows and scrape off the flecks. It's usually quick and easy.

i can't use alcohol on wood I don't think. There has to be some quick solution.

I also had this problem with the doorknobs & the floor in my bathroom, where I spray my hair. I can't remember if I used rubbing alcohol or the foam bathroom cleaner in a can. I think either one of those, will work.
It's worth a try.

Hi, I used to be a hair dresser a long time ago, and I learned to get rid of build up hair spray in hair to use baking soda. So maybe it will work on the dresser. Make a thin paste of baking soda and warm water, cover the area and let it sit a min. Then wipe it away you may have to do this a few times depending on how bad the build up is, and after you remove the hair spray use a good furniture polish to bring back the shine. Baking soda will take out all of the hair spray in the hair so you could try this. Good luck

Use alcohol in a spray bottle to get hair spray off any services that can be wet.

I work at a used car lot and to get things off windows we wet them down really good and scrape them with a razor blade. If that don't work we keep them really wet and scrub with an sos pad. (be sure to keep it really wet or it will scratch the glass.) Then just clean with window cleaner.
As far as the dresser Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner works miricales on all kinds of stuff. Just try it in a hidden spot to see if it will bring the varnish off.

Browse the vinegar page (http://frugalliving.about.com/library/blvinegararch.htm). I stumbled across it and never knew all the wonders it possesses. Good Luck

Without knowing what the dresser is made of I'd reccomend plain HOT water and a washcloth. As for the mirror, you can use rubbing alcohol, ammonia, whatever. If that fails, you can always use a razor to scrape it.
