When the overspray is left unattended, it acts as a dirt magnet and collects dust and dirt. You can get Scotch Guard overspray stains off wood using supplies and techniques for removing wax-based stains from wood.
Things You Will Need
-
Wipe up a still-moist Scotch Guard overspray stain with paper towels. Remove as much of the spray as possible.
-
Lay a clean, cotton cloth over the remaining Scotch Guard stain on the wood surface. Heat an iron to the "Low" heat setting.
-
Place the warmed iron on top of the cotton cloth for three to four seconds at a time. As the wax-based stain softens it will transfer to the cotton cloth. Repeat this step three to five times to remove as much of the overspray stain as possible.
-
Dampen a clean cloth with a quarter-sized amount of mineral spirits. Rub the mineral spirits into any remaining Scotch Guard stain on the wood. Dry the surface with another cloth.
-
Apply wood cleaner and moisturizer to a clean cloth. Rub it into the wood furniture surface to remove the mineral spirits and add moisture to the wood.
-
Allow the wood cleaner and moisturizer to absorb into the furniture for one minute. Wipe off excess solution with a dry cloth.
