Hal has managed to get silly putty all over the sofa, cushions and throw blanket.  Any ideas how to get it off before I kill him?  Currently trying putting the blanket and cushion cover in the freezer to see if it acts like gum.

Whack it with a hammer and catch the chippings? Freezer sounds good.

Crayola has provided a guide for stain removal! Who knows what kids are like!!

If you click on the top one for "Activities and Toys and more" you get "Products" Silly Putty is on that. Clicking on that gives you "Surface".
Hope that helps!

Cheers. It suggests WD40 so I'll try that outside and see what happens once I can find where the can of it has gone this time.

Si suggests that you could also try compressed air to chill (if you have it!).

I think we need to get a new can of that after the last cat knitting attempt aka cleaning out the computers.
