Thank you so much! The vinegar did dissolve the flarp so that I could mop it up with a towel. Then I finished it with the rubbing alcohol to get most of the color out of the carpet. Now I just have a faint pink color in my daughter's room and a faint blue color in my son's room. Better than the horrible scene before.

I'm so grateful for internet access. I never would have thought of vinegar. Vinegar is the ingredient that resolves Flarp. Saved my blanket! Hurray!

OMG the vinegar worked PERFECT! I thought my carpet was ruined! Thanks so much :) I just sprayed it on, left it sit 5 min and the vinegar ate away at the flarp. Awesome!

The vinegar works great! Thank you I thought I was in trouble. My daughter got flarp on my carpet her doll, blanket, hair and clothing. I can't explain but the vinegar just dissolved it off of the carpet, her clothing and hair. I just poured vinegar on and rubbed together it dissolved right out. Thank you again for your advice. You can't tell that the mess ever happened.

My daughter didn't close her Flarp and put it in the purse (or bag, whatever) it's cotton . If I use vinegar will it discolor the bag, or should I just toss it in the wash?

VINEGAR WORKS! It loosened and dissolved the Flarp to the point where I could just spray it away! Thanks so much for the brilliant comment!

I make Flarp, Floam and Slime for my kids. I have found it easy to get the sticky goo out of everything by pouring white vinegar over it and letting it soak for awhile. The vinegar disolves the goo and makes it easier to clean up. For small spots, I soak a cotton ball in vinegar and set it over the stain. Hope this helps!

Wow, that can be a mess. My friend had flarp (or something exactly like it... maybe generic brand) stuck to the back seat carpet in her vehicle. Then, it dried... it was like a 'almost' hard, waxy, smashed into the floor, mess. It wasnt solid, but wasn't removable by hand either.

We used 'Spot Shot', and it got it right up.... i was totally amazed!!

Good luck!!

BTW, Fivebal4s, one of the sites listed was about removing Flarp from a blanket.
The only answer was to apply ice to it and after it freezes it should peel off.
Since I have never seen the stuff I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.
Good luck!

I didn't know what Flarp was either, so I Googled it.
You're not going to believe this but it is a putty that makes "rude noises".
What will they come up with next?

You could try freezing the clothing item and then scraping it off. Finish by using stain remover (if needed) and wash in warm or hot soapy water in the washer. My daughter got something like this on a flowered t-shirt material skirt and it worked for me. Good Luck!
