Then for bed sheets or things like that then use WD-40 or make a bag of ice and mix the ice with rock salt, then put it on the spot of SP on your bed sheets. It will freeze like the clothes and you will be able to chip it off.

Silly Putty in my daughter's hair AND the pillowcase AND her down comforter (she fell asleep with it in her hand). For the hair, Pam worked well. Spray it on and work it out with your fingers or a comb. For the pillowcase, I tried the freezing and WD-40 and that worked OK--the putty didn't really chip off--parts of it did, but the thinner portions stayed on. Also, it starts to thaw and get gummy again pretty quickly. The rest dissolved fairly well with WD-40. For the down comforter, I had to think of something different, as I didn't want to spray it with WD-40 and I couldn't fit it in the freezer! This is going to sound crazy, but I used MORE Silly Putty! I was standing there trying to decide what on earth to do, when I took the little ball of SP that was left over and started quickly dabbing at the comforter. It worked!! The ball of putty pulled off what was on the comforter. Warning--dab in quick thrusts so the additional putty doesn't end up stuck as well (although even when this happened, I was able to pull the bulk off and get all of it off).
