Welcome to the forums!

About the only way I know of is to peel it off. A latex paint remover like 'oops' or 'goof off' might help - test it on a hidden part of the material first.

Hopefully others will respond with more help

You buy new jeans...and keep the others as work pants.

I think acetone might get rid of the caulk but it would be pretty hard on the jeans as well

Gunguy might be right on this one

Furniture indentations on carpet

Hello, I put down plastic carpet protectors (the kind with teeth on one side) under my furniture legs. The result from using these makes the indentation appear worse on my carpet.. I think I would have been better off not using them. How can I fix my carpet so that these indentations are less noticeable. The carpet is about one year old. The furniture legs have the original button type protectors on the leg bottoms and I will rely on them. I think they would be a better choice. The indentations are 2 inches by 2 inches.Read More
