How to wash clothes with hairspray: a useful life hack or a stupid idea?

Using hairspray designed to control unruly curls instead of washing powder may cause a skeptical smile.

However, we hasten to convince you that not everything is as clear-cut as it may seem at first glance.

First of all, it is worth remembering that stains left on clothes can have different origins.

And if hairspray really can’t wash away a trace left by ketchup or blood, then this product will easily deal with ink stains that appeared due to careless handling of a ballpoint pen.

So, to get rid of such marks, it is worth spraying generously on the stained area.

Please note: the fabric does not need to be pre-wetted, otherwise the required concentration will not be achieved.

Right before your eyes, the ink stains will begin to spread, and after you rub the stained area, they will seem to dissolve completely.

All that remains is to wash the item with laundry soap, and it will be as good as new. Important: the method has been tested on cotton fabrics and is not suitable for items made of delicate materials.
