Another post and following string suggested white vinegar. It's working for us tonight after coming home from a hockey game to find that our dog got into my purse, our son's toys and blue Flarp. Vinegar works!
I tried this trick and it did work!! I soaked the area with white vingar several times and rubbed back and forth and in circular motions with a towel and it all came up! Whoohoo!
Love that I can go online and find a solution to anything! Just had green Flarp mashed into the carpet and found that the vinegar dissolved it and you can not even tell it had ever been there! It was a mashed spot about 4" wide and just covered in lime green Flarp.
Vinegar is the answer. A few minutes of rubbing with paper towel and it was gone!
Thank you! Vinegar rescued several surfaces in my home. It combs fairly easily out of a full head of hair.
This is a miracle cure! I was freaking out at 6am when I saw the carpet in my daughter's room. I scraped as much as I could with a flat knife and then poured vinegar and voila!
Thank you if it was not for you help I would be introducebel you are the best
Thank you! Used the vinegar advice below and it definitely worked. First I used a butter knife and, with it flat, I slid it under the putty to pull up as much as possible.Then, I used white vinegar and poured a good amount on the paper towel and started blotting over and over with wet and dry paper towels until no color from the noise putty showed up on the paper towels.
Vinegar! I used apple cider because that's the only kind I had. I soaked a wash cloth with the ACV and scrubbed it right out! The "flarp" broke apart and the stain was removed completely within 5 minutes of scrubbing.
What if a kid is trying to do it alone then theyll use vinegar to clean it off and it gets in different places?

Even though the title says "Flarp stains on clothing" some of the answers people came up with had to do with carpet. Looks like the answer is vinegar, maybe followed by alcohol.
Vinegar worked like a charm! Had a pile of flarp left on carpet and took a washcloth and poured vinegar on it and rubbed on the spot on carpet and it dissolved it right away!
Vinegar followed by alcohol to drink? Lol!! This mommy needs it! Flarp on the carpet and a rug.
Oh no, I'm sorry, this happened to us about a year ago & the blue flarp is still in the carpet, I tried everything including trying to heat it w/ a hairdryer to cut it out....Good luck with that. Hopefully you will get something that works & I can move the rug I conceal it with & give it a try :)
Let it dry into carpet and I used fabuloso and it started to peel out of the carpet in bits but it does come out
The white vinegar & a butter knife did it..! Thank you for your post
Vinegar works on the carpet. Thanks for the vinegar advice!
Vinegar worked perfect. I used apple cider vinegar but I'm sure clear vinegar will also work.
White vinegar worked very quickly to remove it from our fabric couch!
Vinegar works! I used it to get the flarp out of DD's hair, the carpet, the play rug, my shirt, and her skin. It just started dissolving it. Now we smell like the start of a salad, but the Flarp is gone.
