Play Doh Stains In Carpet

But put a little elbow grease into it.

Play doh stains in carpet.

Dampen a cloth with hot water and place it on top of the play dough. This will soften the play dough making it a lot easier to remove. Pick up large or loose pieces of play doh from the carpet by hand. The carpet and play doh will look frosted over.

If the remaining substance trapped in the carpet is still soft dab at it with a ball of pliable play doh ideally a white piece so it leaves no color behind. Treat light colored upholstery and carpet or any fabric with stubborn playdough stains by dabbing at the stain with three percent hydrogen peroxide. Separate the carpet fibers slightly with your hands to reach bits of deep down play doh. Allow the peroxide to remain on the surface for one hour to remove the stain then pat dry.

Use hydrogen peroxide for stubborn stains on white carpets. It s best to do this when the play dough is dry. Although play doh may look like a mushy mess it doesn t have to spell complete disaster for your carpet. Brush the play dough off the carpet with a stiff brush to remove any small bits of play dough stuck to the carpet.

Let it sit there for about an hour. When it comes to play doh in your carpet it s not just the viscous putty that can get left behind. Blot the stain gently until the remaining playdough residue is removed. The bright dyes used in the product may leave your carpet stained.

Use a screwdriver or butter knife or something to chip away at the play doh.
