#1 Removing Silly Putty or Slime from Carpet

  1. Goo Gone also gets out cocking. When we lived in Labrador my son was asked to put the cocking gun away, well he decided to try it out on a dark wall to wall carpet. Of course it became impossible to remove. So he covered it up with a pillow. When I found the cocking on our carpet I thought I would call the carpet people and ask how to remove this stain, of course they did not have an answer for me…So off I went looking for an answer by trying different products.. I tried Go-Gone it says that it will remove the glue from the back of the carpet but it was wall to wall so I thought where could it go and yes it got rid of the cocking

    We also removed a drain that from a sink with Fo-Gone
