If you’re a parent, we’re willing to bet your little one plays with play-doh. If the clay gets stuck in your carpet, you could be in for quite the headache.
Removing play-doh stains in carpet isn’t the easiest thing to do, but it is possible.
We will try to make this as simple as possible for you.
The Art of Play-Doh Removal
Just a tip of advice before we start, always consult your carpet and flooring dealer before you try any steps on your own. No one can be held accountable for any accidental damage you cause to your carpet.
Even the best carpet for kids isn’t play-doh proof, so it can still reek some havoc on your flooring.
Since play-doh isn’t your average juice or coffee spill, the soak and blot technique won’t do you much good. Don’t try to cut it out either. You’ll ruin the fibers and make an uneven cut in the carpet itself.
According to an Indianapolis top-rated carpet cleaner, Ross Trittipo, you’ll find your solution at an auto parts store. Here’s the best way to remove dried play-doh from carpet:
- Buy a can of “SuperCold” cold air
- Spray the cold air on the play-doh
- Keep spraying until it begins to frost over
- Take a screwdriver or butter knife and chip away at the play-doh once is frozen
As you chip at the play-doh, it should begin to crumble away. Don’t be too aggressive with it, though. Removing the pesky modeling clay may take a little elbow grease, but you don’t want to damage the carpeting.
Also keep your fingers out of the way when spraying the cold air. You’ll give yourself freeze burns.
A can of cold air may cost you as little as ten dollars. You can call a professional carpet cleaning if you want, but it will cost much more.
If all of your attempts to remove the stains fail, it may be time to consider installing new carpet.
