HOW TO CLEAN SLIME FROM ANYTHING
Oops! Did your slime go on an adventure? No worries! Here’s how to clean slime off various surfaces:
-
Solid Surfaces:
If slime gets on a hard surface, you can often pick it up by using a small handful of slime. If it’s activated properly, the slime should stick to it and lift the mess away.
For any remaining residue, dampen a cloth with warm water and gently wipe the area clean. -
Carpet:
Start by picking up any excess slime with a handful of fresh slime.
For the remaining stains, mix equal parts vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle.
Spray the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, then blot with a clean cloth until the stain is gone. -
Upholstery:
Use the same method as for carpets: pick up as much slime as you can with a small handful of slime.
For stubborn stains, try the vinegar solution mentioned above, testing it on a small, hidden area first to avoid damage. -
Skin:
If slime gets on your skin, wash it off with warm, soapy water.
-
Hair:
For slime in hair, wet the area with warm water, then use a generous amount of conditioner.
Work the conditioner through the hair to loosen the slime, then rinse and wash with shampoo. -
Walls:
Gently scrape off excess slime with a plastic spatula or a credit card.
Use warm, soapy water to clean any remaining residue, or try the vinegar solution for tougher spots. -
Wood Floors:
Quickly pick up as much slime as possible with a small handful of slime.
Wipe the area with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner safe for wood floors. -
Clothing:
If slime gets on your clothes, let it dry completely first. Once it’s dry, gently scrape off as much as you can with a plastic spatula or your fingers.
Then, pretreat the stain with undiluted laundry detergent. Gently rub the detergent into the affected area and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Machine wash in cold water. Cold water helps prevent the slime from setting into the fabric while the detergent works to lift the stain. Always check the care label and do a spot test if you’re unsure!
