Did that, I want something that's proven. Don't want to start trying and damage the fabric.

My son had a big amount of silly putty on his sweatshirt.
We first tried to put it in the freezer but didn't work at all.
What worked was soaking in alcohol and scrubbing off putty. Once there was no more putty I washed it a few times in hot water and reg laundry detergent (without putting it in the dryer of course!)
It's not 100% perfect but I think it's the best it could be!
I'm hoping stain will fade with more washes over time.

This is what I ended up doing. I'm trying everything under the sun I took my hand soap and scrubbed it in with a toothbrush came out beautifully. Only thing is I'm left with a stain that hopefully will fade with time

I know this is too late for you for this incident, but I banned silly putty in my house. I had a ruined shirt, and then another time a ruined set of linen. The black and green dyes never came out, no matter what I did. I hope you have more luck than I did with stain removal.
