  • They will definitely be dry by the time you get home - you should be able to just brush them out with a clothes brush. It's worked for me in the past.

    You'll have to find the little !!!!!! though, otherwise he'll do it again tomorrow.
  • great thanks i have a new brush so will give that a try, i really dont think products will help so fingers crossed ;)

  • It should just brush off - DD used to keep giant snails & the best thing to de-slime things is vinegar.

  • Or it hoovers off very well.

    Failing the above, try baby wipes - they seem to be the answer to absolutely everything in our house ! (great for skirting boards, marks on walls, uPVC doors and windows and leather sofas!)
  • Well a damp cloth then a brush with clothes brush worked a treat, couldnt find the wee !!!!!! last night so took the precaution of not letting curtains touch the floor!
