Help---silly Putty

OH, what they won't do~ :)

I would try freezing it. Freezing things works well to break many things off surfaces (I always put my candles in the freezer to remove the last bit of wax before recycling the container.) Not sure if oils would cut it, as I think it is a type of plastic? (been a while since I played with putty!)

Good Luck~ hope something works and it was not a favorite set of sheets or pj's!

I have a couple ideas for you. First try to freeze it with ice...it might get harder and peel off.

If that doesn't work you could try heating it with the iron...put a rag between the iron and silly puddy. It might scrap off.

Hi A. K.,

I would throw all the affected clothing/bedding into a freezer for several hours or up to two to three days and then maybe you could pick off each piece of silly putty.

Perhaps you could also "google" silly putty and find some ways to get it off of material on their web site in frequently asked questions. I would think your son is not the only one to ever get it spread all over clothing/bedding articles.

I know when my now adult daughters were quite young they got bubble gum in their hair and I tried rubbing each section of hair with peanut butter and that was easier to get it off than freezing it with ice cubes.

Hope you find something that works from somebody here on this website. I learn so much from here and enjoy reading the answers and responses from so many different people. I am wondering is everyone on here from MI?

Goof Off would DEF. get it off, but you would for sure have to wash everything after using it. You can buy it at Walmart, Meijer...some place like that The smell is kind of harsh, but it gets anything off of everything. I used it to get melted tape off one of my sons pair of pants. Hope this helps!!

Freeze it, either with ice or in the freezer. It should come right off.

Hi! wow who would have thought that I would ever have to share this advice:o) My kids brought silly puddy into the bath and got it in their eyes and the only thing that worked was eye makeup remover. I have no idea why but nothing else worked.

Goo-Gone will do the trick.

HI,
I think all you have to do is put the affected items- PJ's sheets- in the freezer. The silly putty should harden and break off when it is frozen. I hope this works.
Good luck,
M.

Goo-Gone will definitely get it out.

Try peanut butter.
My 5 year old got gum on EVERYTHING, so we rubbed peanut butter into the gum, even on the rug and broke it down enough to where we could wipe it off.

Try peanut butter. or alcohol

:) Same thing happened when we last had house guests. It was also in my friends daughters hair, fleece pillow, and blankets. I pulled off as much as I could, then washed them and pulled the rest off.
Good luck, A. H

I don't know but I think this is so funny! :) thanks for the laugh. I have 6 kids and can see this type of thing happening to me at any moment and if you are not laughing you should try, it might be your only remedy!
