How do I get play-doh out of the carpet?
We've introduced our son to Play-Doh, and he loves it.

However, he's still only 2, and is not very good about watching where the stuff goes. He drops a lot of it, and then winds up stepping on it.

We've wound up with some of it ground into our carpet. What's the best way to clean up the mess?

I decided to go and hunt down an answer for this because although so far we have managed to keep playdough in the kitchen, which has a wooden floor, it is bound to happen sometime.

So, the official line from Hasbro is:

“When attempting to remove PLAY-DOH compound do NOT use hot water or
cleaning solutions of any kind. To remove PLAY-DOH compound from
carpet or fabrics, allow it to dry completely, and then loosen with a
stiff brush. It may be necessary to vacuum clean or wash with gentle
soap and cold water. You may need to repeat the process in order to
completely remove the PLAY-DOH compound.”

Amusingly, the first source of that guidance, which quoted Hasbros own information was a blog called Playdoughinmycarpet
