Re: How do i remove silly puddy from carpet?

     Silly Putty was invented in 1943 by a scientist who worked for  
General Electric, named James Wright.  He added boric acid to silicone oil 
to try to create a synthetic rubber substitute to be used during WWII.  
You can find more information about Silly Putty by using a search engine 
(yahoo, snap, excite, etc.) to look for "silly putty" (don't forget the 
quotes.)  You can also find some useful information at the following web-
site:

     The name of the company that currently manufactures Silly Putty is 
Binney & Smith (the same people who make and sell Crayola Crayons.)  Their 
toll free number is 800-272-9652.  The link that I have listed below did 
have a recommended removal procedure:

     The first step is spray WD-40 on the mess.  The WD-40 will remove the 
Silly Putty.  The next step is to TRY to remove the WD-40 with rubbing 
alcohol.  The final step is to clean the area with soap and water.
  
     I would recommend doing a test spot in a closet with the WD-40 
procedure first.  I wish you alot of luck in your clean-up.
