Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Unplug the curling iron and allow it to completely cool before attempting to clean the hairspray from the curling iron.
Step2
Get a rag slightly damp and gently wipe the curling iron with the rag. This will remove any new hairspray residue that has become stuck to the curling iron.
Step3
Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto your rag and wipe the curling iron with it to get rid of more stubborn hairspray residue.
Step4
Gently rub the curling iron with your rag that has a small amount of ammonia on it, if none of the other attempts has gotten rid of the hairspray.
Step5
Use a cotton ball with nail polish remover containing acetone on it to try another attempt to remove the stubborn hairspray residue.
Step6
Spray a small amount of oven cleaner onto your rag. Apply the oven cleaner to the curling iron, rubbing the cleaner into the hairspray residue if none of the previous methods has worked in removing the hairspray.
