How can I get out silly putty from sheets?

[dutton]

My son slept with some silly putty and it stuck to the sheets! I just bought them and wonder how can I get it out? Thanks for any advice!!

Apply some ice over the putty, then scrape it. Hopefully it will do the trick!

Silly putty is from HELL.....I refused to let it in my house after my kids ruined some clothes.....If ice doesn't work...I don't think anything else will...good luck though

This is just too funny. My DD just got silly putty on her comforter and I've been trying to get it off. I'm going to give ice a try too.

Peanut butter works great on removing gum. If the ice doesnt work out give it a shot.

Good luck! If you think silly putty is bad, don't EVER let them have gooze in the house!!

<font color=navy>My dd's friend came over & they were playing w/sillly putty (she was 13). A couple of days later, I found it spread on the couch - she had fallen asleep and smeared it into the couch in her sleep. Let's just say I was not happy.

It's still a part of our decor.

*Note to self: Never let the kids have silly putty!

Can you bounce it out? LOL


The ad:
Silly Putty! The Wonder Toy of the Twentieth Century! You can stretch it, you can pick up pictures with it and stretch them to make them look funny, you can bounce it!!

Your mom will be glad to know that you can do all these things with New Silly Putty and it WILL NOT STICK OR STAIN!!



Uh huh. That's not what I heard.

Silly putty is hard to get out of anything. Especially hair, if the kid falls asleep with it in their hands or whatever. Yucky stuff from the parental side of life, lol.

DD fell asleep with the Silly Putty inside the egg in her hand while in 1st grade. Of course, the egg cracked open & there was silly putty on her sheets & in her hair.

We used "Goo Gone" & that worked pretty well. However, there is still a stain on her pillow case. We were fortunate we didn't have to cut her hair.

The worst part was explaining why she was late for school that day. You should have seen the looks on the faces of the office staff when we told them.

I had to laugh at this post because my DH came home from work and proceeded to tell me he had a very boring meeting to attend and was playing with silly putty and put it in his pocket!!!!!!!!!!!

It is now all over the pocket and he has asked me if I could find a way to remove it! It has been sitting there for a week because I couldn't imagine what to do but cut the pocket out and sew it back up ! LOL

YOu think KIDS are bad!!!!!!!!! LOL

Silly Putty is the Devil's work. I'm only half kidding- to my knowledge (and from personal experience) there is NO WAY to get it out of fabric. Silly Putty and glitter are banned from this house.

I have no idea how to get it out. Maybe freeze it like you would gum. I have a funny silly putty story though. My DD, who at the time was 4, decided to make a cat collar out of it and put it on the cat. Too funny!! Well, I guess the cat didn't think so.
