Slime care and tips

Essential slime care:

Wash your hands first: Always wash and dry your hands before handling slime to keep out skin oils, dirt, and bacteria that break it down or cause mold.

Play on clean surfaces: Use smooth, non-porous surfaces like plastic trays, desks or just your hands rather than wood, carpets, or fabric.

Store in airtight containers: Always seal your slime in its original container, airtight jar, ziplock bag, or Tupperware immediately after playing to keep air out and prevent drying.

Keep sessions short: Limit playtime to about 10–15 minutes a day to reduce friction, heat, and drying out.

Too sticky?

Add a few sprays of the activator that came with your slime and knead well. Repeat until you get the desired texture. DO NOT OVER ACTIVATE. Too much activator can/will ruin your slime!

Want to make your own activator? Mix 1tsp of borax powder in 1 cup of warm or hot water and mix until dissolved. Use as directed above.

Too tough or over activated? 

If warming the slime up in your hands doesn't work, you can add a few drops of lotion (for white glue slime) or glycerin (for white glue or clear glue slime) and knead well. Repeat as needed.

Slime in your hair or clothes/furniture?

Pick out as much of the slime as you can and then saturate the area with white vinegar.  Rinse hair or scrub fabric clean with warm water.
