Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive February 2004: Silly putty.....rug
purple silly putty....beige rug....need I say more?
ice?
On boy have I BTDT, I had pink on a beige rug. What I did was let it dry for a few hours then it scraped right off the rug with my finger nails, then I just vacuumed and it was all gone.
Get as much up as you can with your nails, then take the glob of putty and smush it back onto the remaining putty and quickly pull it back up and hopefully some putty will stick to it and more will come up. Then with the smallest scissors you have (preferably manicure scissors) snip off the tip tops of the rug fibers. AND WHERE DID YOU FIND PURPLE SILLY PUTTY??? I've been looking for YEARS for it!!! The Easter Bunny is always supposed to bring it, and he always has to bring pink.
I got it at Walmart a few months ago. It's purple, but the heat of your hand makes it go pink after a few minutes. I tried scraping it up as much as I could but what is left is a flat purple spot.
Oh,and it is a stupid berber rug so I can't cut at it. It's all small tight flat loops(I hate berber).
From Crayola.com (Helpful Information Link):
Procedure: Scrape off excess Silly Putty or clay with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray with WD-40 and let stand a few minutes. Scrape excess Silly Putty or clay with dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Respray with WD-40 and wipe off stain with cotton balls. If any stain remains, saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol, blot the stain and rinse. Wipe any remaining residue or remaining stain with a damp sponge or cloth moistened with liquid dishwashing detergent. ----------------------------------------------------------- The suggestions for removing stains have been compiled as a service to our consumers.

Goo Gone. It works miracles!!!
BDTD, Let the silly putty dry, Sprinkle dry oxiclean, add hot water and scrub it will start to loosen up and roll out of the carpet. My kids had it all over the carpet at one of our apartments last year. The Oxi clean will lift the stain too!
You guys are AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!
