Does anyone know how to get silly putty out of material? My child had silly putty on my sofa throw and the throw was sat on. I have picked off what I can pick off but its still there.

Thank you,
Cindie

RE: Silly Putty Stain

My kids have gotten Silly Putty stuck to various things in the past. You could try putting a little ice on it and try "chipping it away". This has worked for us before on clothes. Then I was able to wash them. Good luck. (06/05/2005)

Call the 800 number on the package. I had SP Putty on my carpet and I called them. They told me exactly what to do to remove it and it worked. You could not tell where it has been when I finished. (06/07/2005)

Check out the manufacturer's website for details on how to remove Silly Putty stains from all kinds of stuff: crayola.com (06/07/2005)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

Try Woolite Oxy Deep. I just discovered Silly Putty on my new sofa (who knows when it got there) and wasn't too keen on putting wd-40 on it so I tried this first. It actually came out. I was able to rub the fabric together, but if you aren't I would just try using your fingers or maybe a toothbrush. If it doesnt all come up in one session retry later on. It took me about 1/2 hr to get it out. Not too bad considering it was the whole egg of putty. (11/02/2005)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

I had the triple whammy. 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 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). (09/03/2006)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

OK, so someone got Silly Putty on our couch, and there was no way that we were going to put WD-40 on it and the ice wasn't working. So we got out a dull knife and chipped away at the excess silly putty. Then, we took this carpet cleaner that we got at Sam's called Spot Shot Professional Instant Carpet Stain Remover, and it worked perfectly. (12/02/2006)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

I just discovered that nail polish remover works really well. I got some on polyester "fleece" pajama pants and that's what I had handy and decided to try. Good luck to anyone trying to remove this stuff. (The only reason I have it is for strengthening my muscles after recovering from tendonitis. I do not recommend this product for anything, but therapeutic purposes.) (12/12/2006)

Just rub salt in it and it comes right off like magic. (12/31/2006)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

I had some Silly Putty totally ingrained on my carpet. Some raspberry Smirnoff did the trick nicely. (05/17/2007)

RE: Silly Putty Stain Remote Control

My daughter put green Silly Putty on the remote control. I gave up trying to clean it off. In about a week it dried up into a fine powder and I was able to just gently dust it off with a cloth. (06/30/2007)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

Ice cubes don't work very well, but we used Oxi-clean laundry stain remover and it worked really well. (08/23/2007)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

I used hand sanitizer which is technically alcohol and it worked also to remove Silly Putty off my sweatshirt. Thanks. (11/13/2007)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

I tried the rubbing alcohol and I also tried ice, they both left green marks. I tried Zout Oxy, a laundry stain remover, and the Silly Putty disappeared right away. (02/07/2008)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

Don't use rubbing alcohol on denim. It fades the fabric. (02/10/2008)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

Rubbing alcohol leaves a stain. (08/08/2008)

RE: Silly Putty Stain

You can use WD-40 and then let it sit for about 10 min. Then scrape with a knife lightly.

My sister got silly putty on her blanket. We washed it with bleach in really hot water and it came off. (12/23/2008)
