Step 1
Remove gum or silly putty from your child's hair, from carpeting or upholstery around your house with a dab of peanut butter. Peanut butter is full natural oils that won't damage the hair or fabric as they break up the gum or putty. Place a healthy amount of peanut butter over the putty or gum and massage the butter in with your fingers. Let it set for 15 to 20 minutes before working out with a fine-toothed comb.
