Making slime is a ton of fun but is really messy, and it’s some of the ingredients might end up on your area rug. Don’t worry—we’ll tell you how to remove dry slime after spills and “uh-oh” moments.
If the slime is dry, scrape away as much of the dried particles as possible using a butter knife. Then vacuum thoroughly.
If the slime is wet, mix a solution of warm water and vinegar and apply to the slimy area.
Use a soft bristle brush to loosen the slime out of the carpet.
Gently blot (don’t rub) the area with a clean, dry cloth to absorb the liquid.
Repeat as needed until slime is gone.

If your slime has a saline solution base, use backing soda to thicken it. Stir in more cornstarch to thicken slime made with cornstarch, more borax for Borax slime, and add a small handful of shaving cream to fluffy slime. Pour out excess liquid in the container to thicken slime.
To give the slime a nice smell and make it a bit stretchier, try adding a little bit of scented hand or body lotion. If you don't have any shaving cream or foaming hand soap at home, try using hair mousse! If you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute it with baby powder.
Cloud Dough is incredibly holdable and moldable, making it great for younger slime users. It is really good for stretching as well, which makes it a favorite for physical and occupational therapy.
To make your slime softer, stickier, and stretchier, simply knead in water or lotion until the slime reaches your desired consistency. Within 5 minutes your slime will be restored to its former glory.
If your slime has turned hard and rubbery and breaks off when you pull it rather than being stretchy, it means you have put too much Borax Solution. You may be able to save this by soaking it in a bowl of hot tap water.
