options for removing play dough from carpet

if you use play dough, and you have carpet then you may be in trouble!
play dough and carpet have a natural attraction to one an other. like peas in a pod they love to spend time together.

firstly, be the over protective parent or teacher and dont leave them in a room together alone, cause we all know they're gonna get up to no good!

if the worst happens, you will have two scenarios, wet and smudgy or dry and crusty (or somewhere inbetween)

for wet and smudgy, remember that playdough is water soluble so scoop of as much as you can with the edge of a spoon then with a wet warm soapy (remember play dough has oil) cloth, moisten the carpet until the play dough dissolves then with a dry cloth suck up the liquid out of the carpet. get as much out as you can and repeat if you need to. allow to dry and then with a stiff brush, brush any dry flour dust out of the pile and vacuum

if you are left with dry and crusty, tke your spoon and gently (depends on how fragile your carpet is) break up the chunks and suck up with a vacuum. once the majority of the crusty demon is gone, again get a stiff brush or the brush tool of a vaccuum and suck up the residual powder whilst giving the carpet a good scrub to loosen all the last bits. if its not all gone or there is a bit of salty crust left. then use a moist soapy cloth and when its dried give it a last vaccuum

happy carpet cleaning
