Retrieving Lost Laffy-Toffees from the Carpet: How to Get Them Back

Once upon a time, our household was perfect: Laffy-Toffees in every corner. But then they disappeared behind carpets, under sofas or hid in the kitchen. Here’s how to retrieve these sweet treats.

Causes and Solutions for Laffy-Toffee in Carpets


Laffy-Toffees easily fall into carpets due to their smooth surfaces and the light impact of small chocolate pieces. To get them back, consider the following methods.

**Solution 1: Use Water**

A simple and effective method is to extract Laffy-Toffees with water. Fill a large spray bottle with cold water, place it on the affected carpet area, and gently spray water over it. The water should cover the entire spot. Let it sit for five minutes to soften the chocolate. Then, shake or gently swipe the carpet to let the water drain. The Laffy-Toffees should appear clearly on the surface.

**Solution 2: Use Petroleum Jelly**

An alternative method is using petroleum jelly to extract Laffy-Toffees. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the carpeted area and work it in gently with a soft cloth. Let it sit for five minutes, then use a butter knife or similar tool to scrape off the petroleum jelly, followed by the stuck Laffy-Toffees.
