If you come across any dried Play-Doh that needs cleaning then the first thing you should try to do is rehydrating it. Simply get a washcloth wet with hot water, and then place it onto the Play-Doh and let it sit for about an hour. After the Play-Doh has rehydrated simply clean it up as you normally would.
Subsequently, one may also ask, can germs live in playdough?
In short, germs live outside the body anywhere from a few seconds to 48 hours. Flus tend to live longer on surfaces than colds. I would like to reassure you that colds and flus live longer on hard surfaces than they do on porous surfaces such as playdoh. I hope they are not putting the playdoh in their mouth.
Similarly one may ask, is Play Doh toxic?
Play-Doh compound is non-toxic, non-irritating & non-allergenic except as noted: Children who are allergic to wheat gluten may have an allergic reaction to this product. Also, due to the high salt content in Play-Doh compound, the product can be harmful to pets if ingested.
Play-Doh (similar to "dough") is a modeling compound used by young children for arts and crafts projects at home. It is composed of flour, water, salt, borax, and mineral oil. The product was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s.
