My 2-yr old received play-doh for christmas. There are some pieces that I didn't pick up right away that have now hardened and are stuck to the carpet. Does anyone know how to get it out?

What can I do next?

Play-Doh is great for motor skills developement and my daughter (4) loves to play with it. I own a cleaning co. and one of my contracts is a Pre- School. I clean up Play-Doh alot. You just need a mild dish detergent, hot water and soft scrub brush to break it down and it will come off easily and safely and kids love to scrub play- doh out of rugs as well. Home made Play- doh just vacuums right up just let it dry a little first. Good Luck!

A comb or brush would probably work

I've heard that putting ice on it will hardened it quickly and then you can scrap it off more easily. We just got some too for Christmas, so I'm sure I'll be trying this method soon too!!!

I use to put a old table cloth under were they were palying.
Easy clean up and noting on my rugs. Even a 1.00 shower liner will work

I think waiting until it is completley dry is the best way to remove it. When fully dry you can most of the time just pick it out with your finger nail.
Good luck! :)
