How to remove Silly Putty® and Clay from fabric

Cleaning Materials:

• Dull knife or metal spoon
• Rubbing alcohol
• Cotton balls
• Ice cubes
• Liquid dish soap (preferred: Dawn or Joy)

Procedure:

Scrape off as much putty as possible. Use ice cubes to chill the putty making it easier to scrape away. Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and blot the stained area. If stain persists, rub liquid dish soap into the stain and wash as normal. Repeat as needed.

Silly Putty® was discovered in 1943 by James Wright who mixed boric acid and silicone oil together. It was introduced to the public in 1950 by Peter Hodgson. Crayola® acquired the exclusive manufacturing rights to Silly Putty in 1977. Although the exact formulas Crayola uses to make Silly Putty are proprietary, we can share it is made primarily from silicone and color pigments.
