Part of being a parent is the constant battle to keep children's clothes clean. Silly putty is an elastic, sticky substance that, while a joy for kids, is a pain for parents when it gets stuck in clothing. Removing silly putty from clothing can be accomplished with a little time and effort.
Step 1
Stretch the area of the clothing tight over a flat surface. Remove as much of the silly putty as possible using your fingers.
