voice in the back of my head saying no clay any place but at
the play table NAAAA) Anyway it is now 10:30 and 30 min's
ago I thought it seems quite toooooo quite I investigate and
low and behold she is on my bed and so is about 5 pounds of
multi-colored-play-doh not bad you say well its not only there
but so mashed into the sheets and pillow cases and blanket
that I am not sure a washing will take it out...:eek: HELP

Can I have your knives? You won't need them were your going. :eek:

Isn't there instruction on the back of the play do can on how to get the
stuff out of materials? If not, gooogle could help.
 
Done like dinner...

I'd slip out if I were you and replace what was ruined before she finds out. :D :p

(Nota a los padres: contiene trigo)?? I think that may mean should have
played by wifes rules..:(
 
Well there is always the dry cleaners. in before 11:00 out by 4:00 better
hurry. (Trigo=wheat?)
 
wash it up and try using Oxyclean or something like that. I've been amazed at the stains this cleaner can take out.

My mom was thinking of throwing away a bed in one of the apartments she was renting out because there was a 'blood' stain on the mattress. Anyway, she boiled some water and used oxyclean on the stain and it went away.

Or the other choice is go out and buy NICE new sheets and tell her you just felt like treating her.
 
I wouldn't try to cover it up. Even if you keep your mouth shut, your daughter may not. Getting caught in a cover up might be worse. I'd call her and tell her what happened. She will probably be pissed, but she will have some time to cool off before she gets home. In the meantime, try to fix what happened by using the suggestions already given and whatever is forthcoming. I know that would be the best plan with my wife anyway.
 
Amateur!!! Let the PlayDoh dry and you can easily scrape it off. If it is really ground in again, let it dry and then hold the area around the ground in PlayDoh and break it up with your fingers. Wash in warm water and everything should be fine. Same works for the carpet.

You da man! Brilliant.

I had a similar situation involving:

My son + Silly Putty + Carpet = Rearranging the furniture

If it's spread really thin it should take only about 30 minutes to dry out. If it's in big chunks you need to remove them by beforehand and then let it dry out befor eyou remove it. The less on the bedspread the better.

KV is basically right. Play Doh is specifically confected to be removable and non-damaging.

But, I still say take everything to a professional cleaner and pay to have it cleaned. When the wife comes home, take responsibility and tell her you've got the matter in-hand.

Here's the deal: Take the stuff to the cleaners and you'll be out maybe fifty bucks. Nobody likes to spend fifty bucks unnecessarily, but you'll get over it and it'll be quickly forgotten. If you try and do it yourself and end up leaving a slight stain, you'll live with it for years and be constantly reminded. You'll see the stain every day and regret not having spent the fifty bucks at the time.
 
If the Play-Doh doesn't wash out...Get the scissors and cut it out, then blame it on moths.:D.:D.
 
clean it then tell her what happened. It is better than her wondering why you had to clean the sheets while she was gone. And she will find out. :)
 
I've learned that no matter what I try, my wife knows me so well, she knows what I'm going to do before I do it. :eek: :D After 30 years, I can't get away with anything. Best thing to do is fess up because your little girl may spill the beans about it anyway. Kids say the darnest things at the wrong time.

Get the kids, knives and pictures out (pets, too) and burn the place. Leave no trace! :D
 
I can't believe how so many macho blade forumites are afraid of their wives.

I do whatever i want in the house as long as my wife says it's okay.
