Silly Putty Stains on Clothing

RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By XiloDragon (2) Contact I got some of mine out of my hair with rubbing alchohol, and now i need to work on the stuck-together pocket. ;) (this post will be updated) Posted on 10/10/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By ProgressiveEd (1) Contact I fell asleep sitting at the computer while using silly putty for hand therapy. The hand with the putty rested for a time on my lap against dark green casual cotton trousers. Reading through the list of clean up responses, I decided to try straight rubbing alcohol first. I used a table butter knife to scrape away the thicker putty, then poured the rubbing alcohol onto the fabric. I scrapped some more with the knife, then rubbed away the rest with white paper towels. Seems to have worked very well. Posted on 09/20/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By panda bear (1) Contact Simple Green was the bomb! Used it with a toothbrush & it came out with the first application (I did pick & scrape all the putty that I could out first). Tried the hand sanitizer, but it still left a noticeable stain, then I went with the Simple Green, all gone, no problem! Thanks for your help.

I have tried peanut butter, freezing it, and the WD40. None of it worked. But then I saw the hand sanitizer trick on this site...worked like a charm. Even with a globe of peanut butter still on my jeans, it came right off with a plastic scraper. Now for the chair....

The areas with a lot of putty needed to be soaked w/ a lot of rubbing alcohol and let soak for a while. I went back later and rubbed some more off. Bottom line: Rubbing alcohol does work. The more putty on the material means more time it takes to get out.

After seeing these different suggestions, I tried a combination of things: Avon Skin So Soft, LA's Totally Awesome (which you can buy at the dollar store, which is Totally Awesome) and Spray and Wash. I think that the Totally Awesome worked the best. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I got it all out!

Posted on 01/15/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By Wendy (Guest Post) I just tried using hand sanitizer on my son's shirt that had a blob of silly putty on it. It surprisingly dissolves the putty and makes it easier to pick off. I then treated the remaining stain with Spray and Wash and a toothbrush. Thanks for all the great tips! Posted on 11/24/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By Beth (Guest Post) I used the dual action oxy from the dollar tree and it got silly putty out of my daughters pants and sheet! She fell asleep with it in her hand! Then, I washed both with a large scoop of the oxy crystals and some detergent. When I first saw the mess I thought I would have to throw them away! Now, they are both good as new! And best of all - no stains! THANKS!

I used hand sanitizer on the bedding and carpet: just squirt some on the area and rub with your finger-tips until it comes out. It does still leave a little bit of a stain but it takes it out. Good luck to all! Posted on 10/05/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By (Guest Post) I have it on my wallet and on my shirt and on my comforter. If you know how to get this out or off please post. Posted on 09/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By Jill (Guest Post) I am trying your suggestions. Thanks. I also wanted to let you all know about a wonderful product made by Goo Gone (can only buy it online) called Ink Remover. It removes permanent marker from anything - clothing, furniture, appliances, plastic. Great product!

Of course it was on my favorite shirt. I put OXi Clean spray on it let it sit and scraped it off with a disposable butter knife! Took 3 minutes! Glad my shirts ok!

We removed most of it with scissors, then drenched with Suave conditioner with detangler and the rest combed right out. Posted on 07/27/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By Bruce Samhaber (Guest Post) My son got his silly putty in his shirt, shorts and flanel bed sheet. I read the suggestions here on this list. I tried the freezing , scraping with a popsicle stick and got the bulk of it off. The I tried Goo-gone on the shirt stain but it did not do much. The shirt and shorts are sythetic fabric. With the suggestion of stain removers I tried Oxyclean (about 2L water with 1/2 scoop of cyrstals) to soaked the shirt and shorts for about 1 hour. Then I scrubed the areas with a fingernail brush and the stain was gone. There was spot of silly putty that I had not scraped off of the shorts that simply wiped off. With a new batch of water and Oxyclean the stain in the bed sheet also scrubbed out easily. Note when I soaked the stains, the stained surface was isolated and placed on top of the Oxyclean solution. Eventually the entire shirt and shorts were in the solution but with the bed sheet only the stained area was in the solution. I think that the scraping action actually just presses the putty further into the fabric. Prior to using Oxyclean I tested some silly putty in a cup of Oxyclean solution and the surface of the silly putty became slippery instead of sticky so it is breaking down. If I have to deal with it again I will try starting with Oxyclean soak and see if the clumps of silly putty wipe off as the one spot did. Read the Oxyclean instructions before using!! Good luck.

I'm going to try the washing step and I'll report on how it goes. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Posted on 07/11/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By kimmom (1) Profile Contact I used the alcohol method on a fuzzy blanket of my daughters and it came right out with hardly any effort. I'd certainly try it in on clothes now that I had such success. For a dryclean only item, I'd take it to your cleaners and see what they can do and tell them about the alcohol - they'll know how the fabric will react.

Of course, it was stuck both to my pants and the couch. The rubbing alchohol worked in a matter of seconds and both my pants and the couch are like brand new again!

Posted on 03/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Silly Putty Stains on Clothing By Beth from Michigan (Guest Post) My daughter rubbed the Silly Putty into her favorite pajama pants (100% polyester) because she thought she could get a picture of Strawberry Shortcake. While the putty was still gooey, I used a Q-tip to soak the putty and surrounding area with rubbing alcohol. I then used a butter knife that was a bit serrated to scrape it off slowly. It removed all of it without damaging the material.

I sprayed it full-strength directly on spot and scraped with credit card. Had to spray a few times, and I kept scraping but within minutes I had it all removed. Hope this works for you!
