Easily Remove Playdough Stains from Clothes
Watermark

After a creative playdough session, finding traces of it on your clothes can be frustrating. But fear not – with the right approach, you can effortlessly remove playdough from your fabrics and restore them to their former glory. Follow these steps to ensure success without setting the stain further into the fabric.

Before You Begin

To avoid worsening the stain, refrain from immediate washing. Instead, follow specific cleaning instructions, allowing the playdough to harden for easier removal. Before moving items to the dryer, ensure the stain is entirely gone, as dryer heat can set it permanently.

What You'll Need

  • Butter knife
  • Toothbrush
  • Large bowl
  • Laundry detergent
  • Dish soap
  • Cleaning vinegar (optional)

Instructions

1. Allow Playdough to Dry Before Removing:

Contrary to intuition, playdough is easier to remove after drying. Resist picking it immediately; let it harden. Use a butter knife for larger pieces and a toothbrush for smaller remnants. Optionally, speed up the process by placing the item in the freezer for 30 minutes.

2. Soak the Fabric in Soapy Water:

Tiny playdough bits may remain between fabric threads. Soak the item in a bowl of cool water with a few drops of dish soap. Gently rub the stain under water, then let it sit for 20 minutes.

3. Pre-Treat the Playdough Stain:

After removing dried playdough, address any lingering stains. Drizzle a teaspoon of laundry detergent on the stain, rub it in, and let it set for five minutes. Consider wearing gloves to protect your skin.

4. Wash the Clothing Item:

Place the stained item in the washing machine following the garment's laundry instructions. Before moving to the dryer, check the stain. If it persists, soak the garment in cleaning vinegar for 20 minutes, then wash again before drying.

FAQ:
