How to wipe off slime stains?

Probably, there are few children who would be indifferent to lizuns. During the game, they do not pose any threat to the surrounding things, but if you forget them on clothes, blankets, bedspreads, pieces of furniture or even hair, the toy will start to spread. This happens especially quickly when the slime is in a warm room or under the bright rays of the sun, fragments of the spreading mass are so deeply absorbed into the fibers of matter that it is not easy to remove them.

We warn you right away - do not try to get rid of slime on a dress, jeans, a towel and a blanket using a washing machine. The maximum that you can count on is to remove most of the slime, but even the most expensive powder will hardly be able to remove particles of dye and small fragments of mucus. The easiest way is to give the spoiled product to dry cleaning, but these services are quite expensive. This solution is resorted to only in neglected situations or if the slime is absorbed into delicate fabrics - guipure, viscose or silk.

It is very important to catch the slime spill as soon as possible.... Fresh dirt is much easier to remove than dry dirt. However, most of the day he remains quite flexible, so even if you do not catch him in the first minutes, then you still have time to save the situation.

There are many simple folk remedies to help you get rid of slime stains.

• Boiling water... To clean slime stains from clothes, pour boiling water over it. After thermal exposure, it will not be difficult to remove the remnants of the slime.Therefore, in some cases, the situation can be corrected without aggressive formulations. And to enhance the effect, add a tablespoon of ammonia to the water, then rinse and wash in a machine.
• Freezing... This is the opposite way, it involves freezing dirty things. Damaged products are placed in plastic bags and sent to the freezer for a couple of hours. During this time, the mucus will harden and it can be cleaned off without smearing the dirt even more. The most difficult thing is not to accidentally damage the product itself with a sharp object.
• Acetone... To save things from fur, the use of acetone gives the greatest effect. A cotton pad is slightly moistened with liquid and carefully collect any adhering dirt. Be aware that this method is not recommended for skin-tight clothing and bedding. The problem is that acetone is classified as a strong solvent; it is not easily washed out even when washing in an automatic machine. The remaining components of this substance can cause severe allergic reactions and skin irritation. In addition, acetone has a pungent chemical odor, which firmly "sticks" to the fabric and is hardly eroded.
• Hydrogen peroxide. This is one of the most budgetary preparations that allows you to clean your pants and T-shirt from stubborn slime. A cotton pad is moistened in hydrogen peroxide and begins to collect slime residues from the edges to the center until it is completely cleaned. It usually takes 20-30 minutes to process. This method allows you to quickly get rid of fresh stains as well as old mucus. We draw your attention to the fact that it is not worth pouring hydrogen peroxide directly onto the slime - such treatment will not give any effect, moreover, it can damage the tissue.
• Ammonia... The most budget-friendly way to remove slime from clothes is to make a mixture of ammonia, lemon juice and table salt, taken in equal amounts. The resulting gruel is rubbed into the sticky spot with a cotton pad. If the mucus has managed to penetrate deeply into the fabric, then the mixture is left on the damaged fragment for 20-25 minutes, after which it is gently rubbed with a toothbrush. To remove the remaining particles of slime, the thing is rinsed and washed.
• Petrol... This is "heavy artillery". It is used only in a situation where it was not possible to neutralize the traces of the slime by any other means. For processing, the flaps are moistened in gasoline and gently wiped off the stain. As soon as the slime is completely removed from the fabric, the product is thoroughly rinsed and washed - this will eliminate the remnants of mucus and the specific smell of gasoline.
• Laundry soap. A very effective remedy that will help remove fresh mucus stains from clothes as quickly as acetone and hydrogen peroxide. It is noteworthy that soap can be used for different types of fabric. To save clothes from mucus, you need to grate a bar of laundry soap and pour boiling water over the resulting shavings. The soapy gruel is applied to the stain, rubbed thoroughly and left for half an hour. After that, the soap is washed off, if the contamination is not completely eliminated, the procedure is repeated. Usually, two or three treatments are enough to get rid of the toughest stains. For this work, it is best to take soap with a high alkali content - about 60-70%.
• Ethanol. The product copes well with both new and old stains. A small volume of alcohol is poured onto the damaged area and left for 25-40 minutes. To slightly speed up the process, the composition can be rubbed a little into the stain with a brush. After that, the product is rinsed and washed by hand.
• Isopropyl alcohol. This method is used for cleaning linen and cotton fabrics. Alcohol is applied to the traces of slimes and wait 10-20 minutes. Usually this time is enough for the active ingredients to completely dissolve all the dirt. All that remains is to rinse the product and send it to the automatic machine.
• Slime... It may seem strange, but sometimes the adhering mucus can be removed with the help of another toy of the same kind. To do this, gently press the fresh stain with a slime and peel it off. In this case, it will begin to draw in most of the pollution.
• Butter... You can fight slimes on matter with butter, sunflower oil or fatty cream. Their components quickly destroy the structure of mucus. However, oils and fats leave behind unaesthetic stains on products that can be difficult to get rid of. Therefore, this cleaning technique can only be used as a last resort.

The easiest way to get rid of traces of mucus on fabrics is using household chemicals - bleach, as well as stain removers and cleaning compounds. According to user reviews, several products have the greatest effect.

• Runway RW-4 - This is a lubricant for cars, it is used to clean surfaces from stains of various origins. The composition is applied to the mud and wait 3-4 minutes. The active components of the lubricant dissolve the remnants of the slime, after which you need to carefully wipe the stain with a napkin, rinse and wash with ordinary powder.
• Dr. Beckmann - This stain remover is used to neutralize traces of glue, paint, nail polish and gum. Its working ingredients dissolve the slime, as well as all the stains from the dye added to it.
• Vanish - a popular line of a wide variety of products. The action of the drug is aimed at neutralizing the dye that is part of the slime. Getting rid of mucus in this way is unlikely to work.

After using household chemicals against mucus, clothes must be thoroughly rinsed out - this will help remove toxic odors and remove particles of aggressive active ingredients that can cause rashes, swelling and other allergic reactions. And so that the pungent smell disappears faster - a little vinegar is added to the rinse liquid. For cleaning children's clothes, preference should be given to mild dishwashing detergents. They are dissolved in cool water and soaked soiled things for a couple of hours.

In addition to clothing, hair can also be affected by slime. At first glance, it may seem that in this case it is impossible to get rid of mucus. However, there is no need to despair and take up scissors - it is difficult to clean the hair from slime, but it is possible.

• Ice... Take an ice cube and apply it to the damaged area of ​​your hair. Once it has completely melted, gently remove the hardened mucus with your hands. Residual adhesive can be removed with a fine-toothed comb.
• Butter... For these manipulations, any oil available in the house is suitable - vegetable or cosmetic. Johnson's baby gives a good effect. The composition is applied to the damaged area of ​​the hair for a quarter of an hour, after which the strands are washed with shampoo, preferably using a washcloth. The dried hair is combed thoroughly to remove any remaining mucus. Vaseline has a similar effect. It is also applied to the damaged strand, and after half an hour, the hair is combed with a comb.
• Fat cream... A good effect is given by a greasy face cream or hair mousse. With this composition, the slime is coated with a thick layer. After 20 minutes, wash off and comb out all the remnants of the slime.

Sometimes slime gets on carpets, upholstered furniture and even car seats. In this case, it will be difficult to get rid of unpleasant marks, since it will not work to soak such items in a basin and then wash in a washing machine. However, there are several techniques to remove the sticky mass.

• Mechanical method... Until the slime is dry, you can try to scrape it off with a file, scraper or any other sharp object.
• Ice... This method has worked well on carpeted surfaces. As with hair, an ice cube is applied to the damaged area and held until it melts. After that, take the next piece and repeat the processing. Usually the procedure takes 30-40 minutes, after which the frozen slime is easily peeled off the surface.
• Carpet cleaner... Carpet cleaners have a good effect. Vanish, Faberlic and Amway have proven themselves best.

If the slime hits the ceiling and walls, you can remove them from there with hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. However, this method will only work if the contaminated surfaces are covered with paint. In a room covered with wallpaper, it will not work to get rid of the stain - the mucus and dye will firmly eat into the paper base.

Dried stains are difficult to remove. If the slime is on the clothes for 5 days or more, none of the home and store remedies will give a 100% effect. In this case, it is better to seek help from dry cleaning masters. Using special means, they can restore the product to its original appearance.
