Baby wipes or The proper silicone remover available from screwfix, this will save lots of time.

Baby wipes?? are you serious.
If they move hardened silicone then what the hell effect are they having on my little ones cheeks.

Yes baby wipes, works best on smears rather than lumps ,, I have used them on builders cleans for years.

Lighter fluid works quite well, but I still think a scraper is the quickest and most cost effective way.
