Use hot water hotter the better wear rubber gloves and a scrubber . It melts the hairspray and makes it look like glue. Hard work but worth it

I use The Salon Chair Guys Saon Chair Cleaner. It's available on Amazon.

My Moms leather chair had thick hairspray buildup on it where she has rested her head as well as taken a nap since shes had it. I tried to clean it with just cleaner but it just turned kinda white & really sticky. I had heard about vinegar & olive oil so I gave it a try with 1 part olive oil & 3 parts vinegar. I put some gloves on(like medical latex gloves) & used a washcloth to let the solution soak into it. The acid in the vinegar breaks up the hairspray I guess because it started coming loose and I could peel off the thickest parts then I scraped it with my nails & the cloth.

It looks gross coming off but now her chair looks new again. Afterwards I washed off the area with some mild soapy water to get rid of the vinegar smell, then wiped it down with a little bit of olive oil on a paper towel to condition the leather. Looks so nice again & shines.

I first tried using alcohol, but it seemed like the hairspray was even stiffer. I then used dawn diluted in water( making it sudsy). These methods didn't budge the stiff, stickiness.

BUT, when I used full strength shampoo, it began to come off!! I used my fingernail to "scrape" off the hairspray. I dabbed it with water, using a white cloth. IT WORKED!!

Try a Magic Eraser on an inconspicuous spot first.

Is your chair made of polycarbonate?

If so, the manufacturer does not recommend any products but luke warm water and a few drops of a mild detergent like regular Dawn, Woolite, or Dreft. Just a few drops on a white cotton cloth, and rinse well. Be sure to test it somewhere like the foot just to make sure it does not scratch.

These chairs are sturdy and delicate at the same time!

Hope this helps! It will probably take gentle elbow grease to get the hair spray to come off.
