1. Will it soften more if heated?

Edited on Sun Jul-01-07 11:24 AM by eleny

I just read some instructions for removing silicone caulking from around a tub. They suggest heating it with a hair dryer. Maybe it would become pliable and more easily removed from the carpet if it was softer.

My first thought was that a product like Goo Gone might help on the wood and plastic.

Edit P.S. -- You might try asking in the DIY Home Improvement Group, too.
