How to Get Slime Out of Carpet?
Here are five effective methods to remove slime from your carpet:
- Baking soda and vinegar: Create a 2:1 solution of vinegar and water. Sprinkle baking soda over the slime spot, then spray it with vinegar and water solution. After 10 minutes, use a scrub brush to clean the stain and wipe away the remaining baking soda and slime particles with a paper towel. Dab warm water on the stain and allow it to dry before vacuuming.
- Club soda: First, remove as much slime as possible by scraping it with the backside of a butter knife, then vacuum up the loose pieces. Spray club soda on the stain and wait for about five minutes. Blot the area with a cloth to absorb the excess soda water.
- Ice cubes: If the slime spill is fresh, apply ice or ice packs for 10–15 minutes to freeze the slime. Then, carefully scrape it out of the carpet and vacuum up the remaining particles.
- Dish soap: Mix 2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap with 2 cups of warm water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the stain and wait for 2-4 minutes. Spray the stain again and use a sponge or rag to dab up the slime particles. Once the stain is removed, dab it one last time with warm water and allow it to air dry.
- WD-40: Spray WD-40 on the slime and let it sit for several minutes. Scrub the area with a brush, then apply warm water and blot with a sponge to remove the residue.
