Getting playdough out of carpet

[*star*]

Hi godesses,

Hoping one of you can help me! DD had a wonderful time with the playdough this morning, but when I answered the phone and came back she had shredded the stuff all over the carpet and walked all over it. So now I have yellow spots through the carpet.

Anyone know anything that can dissolve playdough without wrecking the carpet?

Thanks!

I'd try to chip away at the stuff. I wouldn't wet it...

GL!

I agree with Lulu ... i wouldn't wet it in fear of any possible colour coming out of the playdough ...

Could you wait for it to dry then vacuum then finger pick the rest of it out

Yes I could, but I'm lazy and it's literally EVERYWHERE!!! I can't face an afternoon of picking playdough out of the carpet on my hands and knees!!

Let it dry, then bash it to dust with a mallet or something, then vaccum.

I quite like the thought of bashing it to death! Pity there's no less labour intense way of doing this....

Sorry but you're going to have to

I spent hours over a few days getting hot pink playdough out of green carpet. Wait till it's dry and scrape it with a spatula and vacuum the crumbs up, have a break and keep going. It's quite therapeutic

Sammi, your optimism knows no bounds...I'm in awe.

What a pain. All the best on your mission!

I was thinking a razor blade.
