The Logic Verdict

My Take: The video author notes: ”___________________________________________________________ In this video you’ll discover effective techniques to remove old and new slime from carpet. Need help cleaning something?” In my experience, you should start by following the visual inspection steps shown in the video.

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.
