What's It Called

[Jeepers]

I want something but I don't know what it's called or which department to look for it in.

 

I want it to clean the cracks and crevasses and cup holder in my car. What I want is soft and squishy and pliable like play dough or putty or slime. You mash it down in a crumb filled area and it lifts the gunk out. It's probably good for only one use but I have a mess around the gear shift and 4-wheel drive lever that really needs attention. Like sticky crumbs mess attention that I should have taken care of a long time ago. Now it's just gross and embarrassing. 

 

Any idea what I'm thinking about?

Jeepers....look up "cleaning putty" on Internet.  Walmart apparently has products for vehicles .....for laptop keyboards...etc.

  That's it!

 

I forgot you could clean a keyboard with it too. I'll check out the auto department the next time I'm at WallyWorld.

Silly putty works also.  I have tried that and it worked great.

Um...clarification:  Are those three steps in making a batch OR are those three different ways to make homemade silly putty?

 

MtRider ....going to record this in my 'homemade' book.

I thought the same thing.

3 different recipes.    We're pretty creative here so I make all kinds of slime, playdough,  'clay'  paint, etc.
