Getting dried in play doh off the carpet?

We do have a mat to play with this on, but my 2 year old is a rebel! Anyone got any tips? I've just read up on Stardrops, would that do the trick?

Don't clean it with anything I would say let it dry completely and try and get out with a stiff brush and vacuum up

Put brown paper over it & use a warm iron. As it warms it will stick to the brown paper & lift off.

Thank you both! I will try a brush first, then the iron trick.

Be careful with the iron... is that not meant to be for wax? Would play dough melt that much? I would go for the drying out technique as I find that works well.
I would worry that any colour would come out of the play dough if you melt it.
