Required Supplies

  • White Vinegar
  • Scrub Brush
  • Paper Towels

The Logic Verdict

Vinegar dissolves slime. Most kids’ slime is made with glue and borax. Vinegar breaks the chemical bond.

The Fix

  1. Remove Excess: Pick up as much as you can.
  2. Vinegar Soak: Pour white vinegar directly onto the slime. It will start to liquefy.
  3. Scrub: Use a scrub brush to work the slime out of the fibers.
  4. Blot: Blot with paper towels.
  5. Rinse: Rinse with water to remove the vinegar smell.
