Here is what the Crazy Aaron brand recommends in their FAQ section of their site.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN THINKING PUTTY® OUT OF CLOTHES, FABRIC, AND CARPET?
Yes, it happens to all of us sooner or later! Accidentally sat on your Thinking Putty? Left it in your pants pocket? Got little bits stuck in your shirt? Found the dreaded lump of putty in your child's hair?
Thankfully, there are some time-tested techniques for removing Thinking Putty from hair, clothing, and other sorts of fabrics.
If the putty enmeshed itself into the pores in the fabric like blue jeans, simple scraping & tugging isn't going to remove it…
First, remove as much of the putty as possible from the surface. You don't have to go crazy scraping away, but you don't want a thick blob attached to the clothes either. Putty sticks to putty very well! Use a small lump that you've scraped off to pick the remaining putty away.
Using 70% (or greater) Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, position the fabric over the sink and liberally pour some rubbing alcohol over the stain. Using a paper towel or wash cloth, rub the alcohol into the putty. Immediately you should notice the Thinking Putty liquifying and moving away from the fabric. As you mix in the rubbing alcohol you can probably pull away chunks of putty that have become freed from the fabric.
After the putty is removed, you may still have a minor stain on the fabric. A quick run through the washing machine often clears this up. Use a liquid detergent pre-treatment and, for most fabrics, the stain should wash away.

Drop off the clothes at the local dry cleaner and let them know the stain is "silicone-based". They may be able to use their secret powers to help you.
