How To Remove Slime from various things
Hair
Ahh, one of the most common places for slime to end up. I mean, who can blame a kid? Slime + hair = fun, right? Not for parents! To get slime out of hair, use conditioner or oil (like coconut or olive oil) to loosen the slime. Then you can gently work it through the hair with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb until the slime slips out.
Clothes
Ick! Has your little one put slime on your favorite sweater of theirs? If so, you need to act NOW! Luckily, I have a whole blog post for this! Click here to find out more!
Couch/Upholstery
Couch slime? Totally been there. First of all, you’ll want to scrape off any chunks. Then, blot the area with a mix of warm water and white vinegar. Be gentle and make sure you blot, don’t rub. Finish by patting it mostly dry with a damp cloth and letting it dry. Your couch will thank you, trust me!
Blanket
Getting slime stuck in a blanket is a total pickle! Luckily, I have the solution. Read this blog to find out how you can get slime out of your blanket!
Carpet
Slime in the carpet is a classic. I know my kids have done it once or twice! Start by removing the excess gunk, then mix warm water and baking soda or use a vinegar solution. Scrub gently with a soft brush. Make sure you don’t go too hard or you'll rough up the fibers. Blot dry with a towel, and boom! You have a clean carpet again.
Hard Floors
If you ever thought that your hard floors were safe from slime, you’re wrong. If your kiddos manage to get some on the floors, first, wipe up whatever you can. For the sticky bits, use a cloth with warm water and vinegar. On wood floors, just use a slightly damp cloth and dry the area right away to avoid any sort of damage.
Car Seat
Whether it’s from a backseat craft party or a sneaky slime stash, car seats are fixable too! Click here to read how you can get slime out of a car seat.
Bed Sheets
Slime in the bed never makes for a good bedtime. But don’t toss the sheets just yet! Let the slime dry completely or freeze it with an ice pack, then crack and flake it off. Next, soak the spot in warm water mixed with vinegar before tossing it in the wash. Voila, clean!
Pet Fur (yep, it happens!)
If your pup or kitty got into the slime stash, or your little one played a little too well with them today, don’t stress. Just rub a little vegetable oil or pet-safe detangler into the fur to loosen the goo. Work slowly and gently, then rinse it out with pet shampoo. Treats afterward are 100% required in this case.
