How to Remove Silly Putty from Carpet

The best way I've found to remove Silly Putty from carpet is with denatured alcohol. Pour some on and use a scrub brush. Follow up with whatever you normally use to clean your carpet.

Remove Stubborn Stovetop Stains

There are some stovetop stains you just can't remove with detergents or solvents. These are the ones so baked on they appear like a resin or carbon. I've had the best results with a cheap, one-edged razor in a plastic holders. These cost around $3.00 in the tools section. My routine is to go over the stovetop with an oven cleaner, removing as much as I can with that, than getting the truly baked-on stains with the razor.
