Play Doh Stains In Carpet

Treat light colored upholstery and carpet or any fabric with stubborn playdough stains by dabbing at the stain with three percent hydrogen peroxide.

Play doh stains in carpet. Let it sit there for about an hour. 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. The bright dyes used in the product may leave your carpet stained. 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. It s best to do this when the play dough is dry. But put a little elbow grease into it. Allow the peroxide to remain on the surface for one hour to remove the stain then pat dry.

Dampen a cloth with hot water and place it on top of the play dough. Brush the play dough off the carpet with a stiff brush to remove any small bits of play dough stuck to the carpet. Don t get so aggressive that you damage the carpet. Blot the stain gently until the remaining playdough residue is removed.

Use hydrogen peroxide for stubborn stains on white carpets. Hydrogen peroxide will also effectively remove any discolorations caused by the playdough but should only be used on white carpet. Apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the stain with a clean paper towel. Separate the carpet fibers slightly with your hands to reach bits of deep down play doh.

The carpet and play doh will look frosted over.
