What about milk? It works well on pepper spray.

Never been sprayed directly, but I was cleaning out a dorm room for a summer-time job and someone had left a bottle that went off by accident. And somebody in a club I was in decided to mace the room one time... ugh...

Pepper spray is capsaicin, on which the caseins in milk have a detergent effect. No such luck with 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile.
