Getting Silly Putty Out of Carpet

I can't speak to "old, dried out" silly putty, but if fresh...
I was about to try some of the more extreme solutions about the web using alcohol, WD-40, Goo Gone, etc. when something occurred to me: silly putty is sticky unto itself!
I grabbed a fair glob of my kid's silly putty and started to work it into a warm and very malleable ball. I then stuck it into the couch fabric it was pressed into. As I doubbed the glob of silly putty onto the smaller clumps - it started to come up!
I then tried it on the carpet where there was a big glob I had ground in further by trying to remove by hand - same excellent results!
No stains, no chemicals! Just a little bit of time & effort daubing it out! The silly putty picked up a bunch of fabric lint but who cares? (it didn't seem to hurt it anyway! Lol)

Hi J.,
I happen to have a package from Silly Putty. They have a website - www.sillyputty.com That is full of fun things - but at the bottom it has an email section. Perhaps they could help.
Also: 1-800-crayola from 9AM till 4 PM
Good luck!

I always heard vegetable oil - or peanut butter (because of the oil in it) was good to use on sticky things - like gum stuck in hair etc.

I believe that rubbing alcohol takes it right out. Good luck!

I have never had to get silly putty out, but a product called Goo Gone works really well. It helped me get glue from a hot glue gun out of my daughter's hair. And it has a nice orange scent. Good luck!
