Plasticine on Carpet
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am writing to ask you if you can help me over a small problem. I have lately moved into a house which was previously occupied by people with several small children. I bought the floor coverings and I find the small children have dropped little knobs of plasticine which have been stamped into the carpets. As they are plain haircord, the
Spots are rather conspicuous, 1 wondered if you knew of something which would help to remove it and perhaps dissolve it. I will watch your column for a reply as I always read it and find it very helpful-Marian, Christchurch, I wonder if the sarne treatment would do for plasticine as we use for chewing gum? Soak the gum in carbon. tetrachloride, or eucalyptus, or methylated spirits, or vegetable turps. Sometimes it comes off by soaking in cold water.
