How to remove slime from clothes, hair, carpet

Lizun (slime) is an interesting, unusual toy and at the same time a tool for cleaning the computer keyboard, small parts in hard-to-reach places. However, in addition to the unconditional benefit, slime can also bring harm: if it is left somewhere, it will quickly absorb and it will be very difficult to clean it. Alternatively, the tool can dry, which is also problematic for removal. Fortunately, there are several good ways to competently solve this problem.

Hot water

This method can be used if the slime has not yet stuck, but managed to leave a stain on things. So, hot water is poured into the basin and the thing is placed there. The matter is done. After the water has cooled, the item is washed by hand or in an automatic machine in the usual way.

Freezing

If the toy managed to stick and get things dirty, the cold method will help. The thing is put in the freezer, having previously wrapped it in polyethylene. As an option, you can use pieces of ice, for example, if the freezer is completely clogged. Two hours are enough for the slime to harden. After that, the slime will easily break off into pieces. You can use a knife: after catching a piece, it will be easy to remove it from the fabric. True, traces will remain, but this problem will be solved by a hot cleaning method.

Dishwashing detergent

To remove stains, you can use any usual dishwashing detergent: Fairy, Aos, Biolan. Pour a few drops of the product on the contaminated area and leave it for 2 hours. Next, the thing is washed with powder, you can rub it with a brush. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the procedure is repeated.

Special means for cleaning things from ticks

Gasoline

You can use gasoline. Cotton wool is moistened, applied to clothes and rubbed. After the procedure, the item is washed, and an air conditioner is used to remove the smell of gasoline.
