If you don’t want to use the frozen method, the next is to clean the carpet with laundry detergent.
You can vacuum the small bits or just pick them up by hand. Try to break it up into tiny pieces that you can easily pull up from the carpet. Last, use a knife or something with a hard surface to break up the hardened silly putty. You might have to refill the bag with new ice if it melts during the process. Then, put the bag of ice cubes on top of the silly putty. You will want at least three or four, or enough to cover the entire surface. Fill a Bag with Iceįirst, put several ice cubes in a plastic bag, the number of ice cubes depends on the size of the silly putty. Compressed air can give you freezer burn. Some people like the cans of compressed air, but you need to be careful with that method. The method works with ice cubes, but if you have ice packs, it would work just the same.
One of the easiest methods to remove silly putty is by freezing it. In the future (God forbid), if this happens again, I think I will just try the second method.Read Verified Customer Reviews Method 1: Freezing The Silly Putty I washed it once on hot with detergent and Oxy Clean and there were still a couple remnants, so I reapplied, and repeated. Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover: For the pajamas, I wondered if there might be an easier way to get them clean, so I popped open the Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover and let fly (very liberal… I actually cut the tip of the bottle open to increase the throughput!). These were brand new bright orange sheets, and when they came out of the dryer there was no trace of the Silly Putty, no stains, and thankfully, the color fastness was still in tact.
After that, I washed the sheets and pillow case in a hot wash cycle with regular detergent and a scoop of Oxy Clean. Then, I was able to use rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to dissolve the putty that was too engrained to be scraped. The WD-40 loosened the putty after a few minutes, and I could use a spoon to scrape it off. WD-40 & Rubbing Alcohol: This appeared to work. One also mentioned freezing, but I was too impatient and felt the stuff was too far ground into the cloth. I fired up Google and found several articles mentioning WD-40 and rubbing alcohol. So a FULL serving of Silly Putty ended up ground into a bed sheet, a pillow case and a pair of pajamas. The test was STARTED when one of my children decided to take Silly Putty to bed to “help me fall asleep.” Hey, it’s not like I could say,”Dude, you should just try a rum and coke,” so, I sorta, distantly, understand. Actually I didn’t start the test…I just finished it. We’ve all seen the articles about WD-40 and alcohol…but I did an interesting test.
