Carpets or rugs might take a bit more elbow grease but will still work. Next, squirt the hand sanitizer on the stain, making sure to cover all of it. You can see how it sits on top of the putty instead of quickly soaking in to the surrounding fabric. This helps the alcohol stay focused on the putty which helps dry it out faster. Wash the fabric right away by throwing it in the wash or doing a light hand wash to get the hand sanitizer out of the fabric.
In the picture you can see the slightest ring where the sanitizer has been absorbed by the fabric. This went away once the pants were washed. Kim is the middle sister.

My granddaughter came to me with silly putty that she had sat in. It was a sticky mess. My son grabbed the ice cubes, I went straight to Pinterest. WD does a terrific job of breaking down greasy stains, loosening rusted bolts, and quieting squeaky doors—but it also gets out stains. Only use WD in a well-ventilated area. Because WD is a petroleum product, it can stain clothes if not used cautiously. Spray just enough WD on the Silly Putty stain to cover it. If possible, spray both sides of the stain.
Let the WD work on the stain for five minutes. Scrape away the dissolved Silly Putty and gently scrub out the rest of the stain, and the WD residue, with dish soap and water. To get rid of the strong chemical odor of WD, wash the treated clothes immediately and use a damp cloth to remove the residue from upholstery.

That was it. A few more squirts of the sanitizer and rubbing it in, and the pocket was done. All the silly putty was gone without a whole lot of effort. As with all cleaners, test an inconspicuous spot of the fabric first. Join my email list! First Name. Email address:. That hand sanitizer trick for silly putty is amazing!! We had silly putty all over a mermaid snuggy tail. No staining. No silly putty. So thankful I found you on Pinterest. Happy I could help. Wow did that ever work!
Thank you, thank you! I came home and found my favorite sherpa throw with silly putty dried hard in several places and it was A LOT of silly putty! The clear hand sanitizer worked amazingly well! I did have to saturate it, work to take off chunks, then saturate again and work out with my finger nails and used a wipe to keep cleaning out of my nails and off the blanket, but with patience I was able to save the blanket.
Yes, sometimes it requires a little more waiting or effort, but I was really happy to find something simple that took care of it!
Thanks for stopping by. That is an amazing tip! My kiddo cake in with putty on her jeans, her sweatshirt, and her robe. I googled solutions and found this. I told her about it and she took it outside and worked on it for about ten minutes.
She came back in and had it all scraped off. My son decided the best place to test his new glow in the dark silly putty was under his covers at night. What a surprise to find in the morning! The hand sanitizer worked like a charm and even saved his favorite stuffed lovey.
My son did the same thing last night! Thank you for sharing! This totally worked. My 10 year old got it all out herself. It was stuck on the couch cover which had been washed AND dried. Yes it worked!!! So easy! I was holding my infant at the time so I put the sanitizer on and let it just sit. I came back to it and it was all disintegrated so I just did a little scraping and threw it in the wash! Favourite baby outfit saved!!!
I tried this and it worked!! Like really well. Thank you so much. I cannot believe how well this worked! She had it all over the seat and one of her favorite pairs of pants. I squeezed some sanitizer on them and the putty just disappeared! Thank you so much! Thank you soooooooo much. The silly putty got stuck to one of my dresses today and it was a really pretty one. Using the hand sanitizer worked like a charm.
Again thank you soooooooo much. You are so welcome, Caitlin! Just rescued my daughters white dress from silver putty! Dissolved it no issues then used some vanish to remove the last of the colour stain.
