Help! Stretch Armstrong has leaked all over my rug.

That's is really, he's burst and his sticky contents have leaked all over a long pile rug. I've tried to get it out but it's so sticky and hard. Any ideas?

THE DIRTY BASTARD!

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago, can't remember what it was called but might be worth a search. There were loads of good ideas!

I can’t believe this is such a common occurrence. I’m sorry I have no advice but it’s certainly put me off Stretch Armstrong!

Other Stretch Armstrong thread

It was mine. Nothing has worked. The rug has met the same demise as Stretch and they’re both living together in the local recycling centre.

Sorry but unless there’s a cure that I didn’t find, the rug is fucked!

Ok, I'm going to ask - who or what is stretch Armstrong?

KindleAndCake · 13/06/2019 09:10

Thankyou, my stretched innards are clear though. Not black. Doubt it will make a difference.

Stretch is an arsehole.

Oh god I thought this would be impossible! Me and kids are always stretching him to the limit over the rug. No more!

I don't know what's inside stretch Armstrong but if it's anything like slime wd40 works

I had no idea this was a possibility! Better stop DS taking him to my parents.

He loves him and is fascinated by the fact his pants are wearing off. 17 month old DD was terrified of it. DH showed her once how he stretched out and she sobbed and buried her face into him to get away.

He looks like Donald trump. Therefore he may also be full of BS... though I wish someone could burst him open. That’s actually very violent sounding, maybe not.

WhiteLightTrainWreck · 14/06/2019 08:49

I didn't even know you could still get Stretch!!! I haven't seen one since the 90s!!!

BarbaraofSevillle · 14/06/2019 08:51

Oh I was going to suggest trying to get the rug in the freezer or putting ice packs on the Stretch Goo but I see from the other thread that didn't work.
