Remove Silly Putty From Carpet

Re: silly putty from plastic/rubber Post By happy mom (Guest Post) (08/27/2008) The hand sanitizer worked for getting it off of rubber (swim goggles- don't ask). It disolved the putty.

I have no idea how long it was on there, but after picking out the big clumps, rubbing alcohol worked fabulously. However, it did leave a big orange smear, so I used Spot Shot, and the orange is almost out. I hope it will fully come out in the wash. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remove Silly Putty From Carpet Post By Cathy Hill (Guest Post) (08/11/2008) WOW. Thank goodness for the internet! I tried spot-shot first, which normally gets just about anything out. No luck. THEN, I found this site, and read through all the great advice. I ended up using the rubbing alcohol with some WD-40, and some serious scrubbing (with rags, not paper towels). I got most of the red silly putty out of my beige carpet! Now my son is out of the dog-house, and the remaining silly putty is in the trash! Thanks for all your great tips!

It was especially stuck in the mane of my precious Zebra toy I got when I was a baby. The mane is yarn. I was so, so, so upset. I ran to the computer and found this. I tried rubbing alcohol, Purell, soap, everything. It was still leaving a stain. I went to et this soap that has gotten rid of every stain in the past, and rubbed it on. It worked like a dream. This soap is a MIRACLE! I am so happy! It is called FELS NAPTHA! TRY IT! I swear, It works every single time! Thanks so much to everyone! I hope my suggestion comes in handy!

I soaked the carpet, let it work for about 5 minutes and used a white washcloth and towel to "sop" it up. You can't even tell it was there!

I rubbed it into the leftover Silly Putty in a circular motion, then wiped it up with paper towels. There was a faint pink shadow (the Silly Putty was HOT Pink) which my Little Green Machine took out. Hooray!! Now the garbage man can have the Silly Putty.

I received a very soft throw as a Christmas gift and a couple weeks later I found my son's silly puddy stuck to it. The cat has been sleeping on it and I thought I was going to have to give it to her for good. Then I found this thread and my blanket was saved! I used rubbing alcohol and an old washcloth and rubbed the silly puddy right out! I can't believe how fast and gone it was. It only took 15 minutes and now my blanket is just as soft as before.

I then tried the alcohol, is broke it down well, but seem to make is smear more into the carpet. I then used Goo Gone and it worked even better than the alcohol. The alcohol left a bright pink stain in my light grey berber - the Goo Gone helped with the stain but even after using my Little Green Clean Machine there is still a slight pink stain in the carpet. Needless to say that any remaining bright pink silly putty has been thrown out never to enter my house again! Bad idea on Santa's part.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remove Silly Putty From Carpet Post By (Guest Post) (08/13/2007) Here's my 2 cents - CHECK LIST: WAX PAPER FROZEN CHUNK OF FOOD FROM FREEZER RUBBING ALCOHOL PAPER TOWELS RULE CHANGE: NO MORE PUTTY, EVER! PROCEDURE: scrape up enough putty to make a ball smoosh it onto the frozen chunk to harden grab it with the wax paper blot the putty over the stain to stick and lift the smear as you do to pick up playdoh crumbs Alcohol does dissolve the stuff, but you end up smearing more into the fabric and have to rub really hard with the paper towels, pilling the fabric.

Be careful not to pure the Goo Gone directly onto the carpet b/c the fibers could get loose and come out. I have a SHAG rug and was very gentle and applied the Goo Gone onto a white cloth and then just worked it in and kept rubbing until it looked like it was gone.

Here is a link to it: http://homeparents.about.com/cs/householdtips/ht/Silly_Putty.htm. Also, after cleaning up the WD-40 with the alchohol and rag, you might want to clean the area with soap and water. It worked pretty well for us. WD-40 seems to be another miracle product that ranks up there with duct tape. We have used it to kill bees in the past with great success!

This also works well with crayons or candles that have melted onto carpets or fabrics! I imagine rubbing alcohol would break up the silly putty too but haven't tried it .. just a thought! Good Luck!
