Slime is cool and fun to play with, but it's not so nice when you get slime on your carpet. Don't worry, however, because there are several ways you can get dried slime out of your carpet or carpet, depending on the resources you have at home. It will only take you a little bit of time and a few simple steps to restore your carpet to its original state.

To step

Part 1 of 2: Removing the mucus

  1. Scrape off the excess mucus. If there is a thick blob of slime on your carpet, remove as much of it as possible. Scoop the excess slime off with a spoon or scrape it off the carpet with a knife. Work from the edge to the center of the stain.
  2. Vacuum the area. You can use your vacuum cleaner to remove the slime so that you can tackle the stain. Vacuum the area in different directions to soak up as much dried mucus as possible. You can use a vacuum cleaner or a handheld vacuum.
    • Make sure the slime is dry before you vacuum it so that your vacuum cleaner doesn't get clogged.
  3. Choose a cleaning agent. Vinegar, rubbing alcohol, stain remover, citrus-based solvent and WD-40 can all be used to get slime and stains out of your carpet. Choose from the resources you already have at home or get the product of your choice from a hardware store or supermarket near you.
  4. Put on gloves and test the detergent in an inconspicuous area. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the chemicals and dye in the slime. Make sure to test the cleaner in an inconspicuous area before treating the stain.

Part 2 of 2: Treating the stain

  1. Apply the cleaning agent to the carpet. You can pour or spray rubbing alcohol, distilled white vinegar and WD-40 on the carpet as they will not damage the back of the carpet. Make sure to soak the entire area. However, if you're using a citrus-based solvent or stain remover, pour the product onto a towel and push it into the carpet. Use just enough of the product to wet the slime and stain. In this way, the product does not penetrate into the floor covering and does not dissolve the back of the floor covering.
  2. Leave the cleaning agent on for 10-15 minutes. It is important to let the cleaner work for a while to soften the dried slime and allow it to penetrate the carpeting fibers to remove the dye.
  3. Wipe off the slime and stain with an old towel. After 10 to 15 minutes, use an old kitchen towel or paper towel to wipe away the slime and stain. You shouldn't have to scrub too much. Discard the towel when you are done.
    • Repeat the process if it is a stubborn stain that is still in the carpet after treatment.
  4. Rinse the area with hot water. Wet an old towel with hot water and squeeze out the excess water. Dab the carpet with the towel to remove the detergent and any residue from the carpet.
  5. Soak up the excess moisture and let the carpet dry. Push a dry towel onto the carpet to soak up as much moisture as possible. Then let the area air dry completely.
