How do you get silly putty out of a sweatshirt i got silly putty in a sweatshirt how to get it out?

Answer 1

1. 1

   If the silly putty is stuck to a tough fabric like jeans, you can try to pick some of the excess off. If it is something that is knit like a sweater, socks or more delicate fabric, do not pick at it. It could make a hole by picking or scraping at knit or delicate fabric.

2. 2

   Use a cup or mug if the piece of clothing is small, such as a sock. If the piece of clothing is bigger, such as a pair of pants, use a sink that is plugged. Fill the container with enough white vinegar so that the area with putty can soak in it, not just be saturated. Let it sit in the vinegar soaking overnight.

3. 3

   The next morning, the putty should have softened and be gooey. Gently pick as much as you can of the piece of clothing. Then wash the area with warm water and soap.

4. 4

   If putty is still remaining, soak the area in vinegar again over night and wash with soap the next day. Repeat this until the putty is all gone.

5. 5

   Wash the article of clothing with a regular load of laundry.

Answer 2

One way to remove silly putty from a sweatshirt is to place the affected area in the freezer for a few hours. Once the silly putty is frozen, gently scrape it off with a blunt object like a spoon. You can also try using rubbing alcohol to dissolve the silly putty before washing the sweatshirt as usual.
