The best way to remove Silly Putty from fabrics and blankets is to freeze the stuff. The putty is noted for its many forms and unusual characteristics. It can flow like liquid syrup and will puddle over time. It can also bounce, but it will crack if cooled sufficiently or given a sharp blow. That's why the best way to remove Silly Putty from fabric is to freeze it. Here's how:
If you're still having trouble removing the putty from the blanket or fabric, try dissolving it with Goo Gone or WD-40. Since Silly Putty will dissolve in a petroleum-based product, you can also use brake fluid.
Rubbing alcohol will also dissolve the putty. Hot water is not recommended for dissolving Silly Putty, however, since the hot water will simply melt the putty, forcing it to spread to other areas. When it cools, it will be more difficult to remove the putty, since it now encompasses a larger area.

Hi! I fell asleep with it on my hands. It’s on my fuzzy blanket and I’m trying to get it off. I can’t put it in the freezer because my mom would notice. The stain is really dark. Can I use rubbing alcohol?

I'm not sure about the blanket thing but if you get it on your couch, peel off as much as you can, then spray the crap out of it with some wd40. Dissolves quickly. Then wipe up the wetness. Didn't seem to stay into badly.

Jane Evaclear, I can relate! I did that with a big piece of chocolate, ages ago! It got a huge smear on the leg of my pants. I hope the Silly Putty comes out better for you than the chocolate did for me!

Never underestimate the power of cheap hairspray. The freezer thing did not work for me. But I sprayed the silly putty areawith the hairspray and gently rubbed it. The hairspray dissolved the silly putty. Is still left a stain but soaking it in Shout is helping to get the stain out.

You can also use nail polish remover too.
