If PLAY-DOH compound gets into the carpet, Don't Panic! PLAY-DOH compound will naturally dry and can be loosened with a stiff brush. If necessary, pick up dried crumbs with a dust buster or vacuum cleaner. Do not use hot water or cleaning solutions.

Let it dry out completely, can even use a blow dryer to speed this up. Break it apart and vacuum, using a carpet rake (can pick these up at hardware or janiorial supply stores) to break up even more and vacuum. To finish cleaning - Mix one fourth teaspoon of a liquid dishwashing detergent per one cup of lukewarm water. NEVER USE A STRONGER CONCENTRATION! Thorough rinsing is necessary to remove detergent residues that may cause rapid soiling. It may be necessary to rinse with warm water several times to completely remove residues. Care should be used in selecting a detergent. Never use a laundry detergent of any type, because laundry detergents may contain optical brighteners that dye the fiber. Do not select an automatic dishwashing detergent because many contain bleaching agents that destroy dyes and some fibers

Pull up as much as you can by hand. Then get a steam cleaner and that should pull the rest up without staining anymore carpet. Play-doh is water soluble so steam cleaning is your best option.
