When you think of slime, you probably picture kids playing with it or its soft, slippery texture. But if your kid accidentally get it on their clothes, oops, that’s a problem! Slime can be very sticky, leaving your clothes covered in colorful stains, and if you are not careful, you will be “fixed” there. Don’t worry, today we are going to teach you a few simple and practical tricks to help you easily clean up the clothes with slime!
Refrigerator freezing method – let Slime harden, good cleanup!
The most troublesome thing about Slime is that it sticks. It sticks to your clothes so much that you can’t wipe it off. Don’t worry, the first trick is the “freezing method”. You may wonder what freezing has to do with cleaning clothes. In fact, the sticky nature of Slime hardens at low temperatures, making it less sticky.
The method is very simple: expose the Slime stains on your clothes to the air, followed by placing them in the freezer. Freeze for about 30 minutes, and when you take it out, the Slime will have hardened and become less adherent to the fabric. At this point, gently scrape off the Slime with the back of a knife or spoon and the rest of the stain can continue to be washed away. Simple and effective!
Use Vinegar – Gentle and Strong!
If the Slime has already dried out or it is darker in color, the freezing method may be a bit ineffective. This is where white vinegar at home can come in handy! Not only does white vinegar remove stains well, but it won’t harm your clothes.
How to do it? Pour some white vinegar on the stain and let it sit for a few minutes so it can penetrate a little. Then, gently rub the stain with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush, and the remnants of the Slime are easily removed. The vinegar’s acidity helps break down the slime’s stickiness, making it much easier to clean.
Use detergent – remove oil and stains in two ways
If you have detergent at home, that can come in handy too. Detergent itself has the ability to remove oil and dirt, and the sticky components of Slime are somewhat similar to grease, so detergent can also help you clean Slime.
The method of operation is also very simple: apply a small amount of dishwashing liquid directly to the stain, and then gently wipe it with a damp cloth. When scrubbing, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the area, especially where the Slime is heavily stained, and the detergent can help you remove these stubborn stains more thoroughly.
Cleaning with Alcohol – Against Stubborn Stains
Some of you may find that the slime stain particularly stubborn and the freezing method, vinegar and detergent have not been able to remove them completely. This is when you can try rubbing alcohol. Alcohol not only removes stains, it also evaporates quickly and won’t harm your clothes.
The method of operation is very simple: pour some alcohol on the stain and gently wipe it with a cotton ball or cloth, the alcohol can quickly dissolve the sticky components in the Slime and make it loose. Remember not to rub too hard to avoid damaging the fabric of your clothes.
Use a toothbrush and water – easy brushing to remove stains.
If you have just a small amount of Slime on your clothes and don’t want to use too many chemicals, then try the toothbrush + warm water combo. Moisten the stained area with water and then gently brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. The slime will gradually come off with the friction of the brush, and the water will help remove any remaining residue.
This method works on most fabrics, especially those that are less delicate, like cotton and denim. It’s best to be gentle when scrubbing and avoid using too much force.
Conclusion
See, removing Slime stains from your clothes is actually not that hard! Remember to use the freezing method to harden the Slime, or try white vinegar, detergent, and other common cleaning tools at home. Combined with regular cleaning to keep your clothes clean, Slimes will never give you a headache again! I hope these methods can help you, and next time this kind of “accident” happens, do it quickly and lightly!
