How To Get Slime Out Of Carpet – The Simple & Quick Way

I dropped slime on my carpet - and my kid saw the whole thing. It happened right in the middle of our living room. We were making homemade slime, everybody’s favorite non-Newtonian fluid, and right after I asked my son to avoid making a mess, I knocked the bowl off the table and directly onto the living room floor. Egg on my face and slime in my carpet! Naturally, my kid thought this was poetic justice incarnate - and the funniest thing he’s ever seen. As he was laughing, however, I was dialing the phone. I had a very pressing need to find out how to get slime out of carpet, and I knew exactly who could help. You see, I happen to work for the best carpet cleaning company in Michigan, and I happen to know the foremost authority on carpet spots and stains: Tom!

• Plastic putty knife (or old credit card)

Steps to Remove Slime From Carpet

1. Scrape off as much slime as possible Using a putty knife (or, in a pinch, an old credit card works great too), scrape up as much of the slime from the carpet. There will most likely be lots of it left in the fibers 2. Vacuum the area Get your vacuum out and vacuum up as much of the surrounding area as possible. 3. Mix up your white vinegar solution In a spray bottle, combine 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water. 4. Apply white vinegar solution to slime Spray your white vinegar solution on the slime and allow it to soak into the carpet fibers. 5. Blot Using clean white towels or paper towels, blot (don’t rub!) the slime until it’s completely removed from the carpet. Repeat steps 4 and 5 if necessary! 6. Apply citrus cleaner If there’s a stain left after all the slime is removed, apply your citrus cleaner and allow it to soak into the area. 7. Rinse Rinse the spot with a small amount of hot water, but don’t saturate the carpet! 8. More blotting With your clean white/paper towels, blot until the stain is gone and the area is dry. Again, repeat the last two steps if necessary! 9. Call Modernistic!
