How do I remove slime from car carpet?
How can I remove slime from carpet? My kids love to make slime. Now, I have slime stuck to my car carpet and I can’t get it out.

Oh no, what a mess! Luckily, you can easily remove slime from your car’s carpet with vinegar.
- Distilled white vinegar
- Water
- Butter knife or paint scraper
- Spray bottle
- Scrubbing brush
- Clean towel
- Vacuum
- Step one: Use a knife to scrape off the slime. Begin from the outside edges of the slime and work your way towards the center.
- Step two: In a clean spray bottle, pour 2/3 cup of distilled white vinegar and 1/3 cup of warm water. Spray this solution onto the slime and fully saturate it. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Step three: Scrub the slime using a scrubbing brush. Apply pressure when you are scrubbing, but not too much that you damage the carpet.
- Step four: Repeat steps two and three if there are leftover pieces of slime.
- Step five: Once all the slime is removed from the carpet, use a towel to dry.
- Step six: Once the carpet is blotted dry from the towel, vacuum to pick up any tiny pieces caught in the carpet fibers.
