A comment on the Retroland web site pretty much sums up the magic of Play-Doh: "It's fun to play with. It's hard to get out of the carpet." Luckily Hasbro, the makers of the marvelous stuff, are kind enough to include some clean-up tips on their site. Here's their advice: If Play-Doh compound gets into the carpet, don't panic! Play-Doh compound will naturally dry and can be loosened with a stiff brush. If necessary, pick up dried crumbs with a dust buster or vacuum cleaner. Do not use hot water or cleaning solutions. Apparently Hasbro has heard the clean-up complaints from parents before. This year,
which marks Play-Doh's 50th birthday, it introduced the Play-Doh pick-up stick to "clean Play-Doh off playing surfaces." We're not sure if carpet counts as a "playing surface," but it might be worth a shot.
