DS thought it a great game to smear great gloops of Simple nappy rash cream all over himself and the carpet - A really large area of carpet. Obviously water wouldnt work! Any magic tips appreciated!

oh dear, friad you're probably stuffed.

You can try scraping as much off as possible with a knife then using neat washing up liquid. That's the best way I've found

Have the same problem with Metanium cream, which seems even less water-permeable than sudocrem. Slur, does neat washing up liquid really work? How do you do it - dab it on? rub it in? Wash it off?

Oh no! was sure there would be a genious dead easy solution that I just wasn't privvy to!!

Will try the washingup liquid and then freezing if it doesnt work

Its because its such greasy stuff.

An alternative is lemon juice/vinegar in hot hot water and scrub in. Anything that will break down the grease (hence the washing up liquid working)

I have had success using washing up liquid little bit on, scrub it hard then clean up new soapy mess with hot water dabbing away.

But it is a bugger to get up, good luck.
