1 Pour some vinegar over the slime that is stuck to your clothes. White distilled vinegar will help you with this. Use enough vinegar to completely saturate the area with liquid.

Do this in the sink to avoid dirtying everything around.
The sooner you peel off the slime, the better. The more it dries and hardens, the more difficult it will be to remove.
If you don't have vinegar, replace it with rubbing alcohol.

Advice: an ice cube will help remove dried slime. Spread ice over the area before using the vinegar. Once the slime is frozen and hardened, it will be easier to remove.

2 Rub the vinegar into the slime with a cleaning brush. Press down hard on the brush so that the bristles can penetrate the slime and split it. The acid in the vinegar will dissolve the slime.

Depending on the size of the stain, you may need more vinegar.
For stubborn stains, let the vinegar sit for 3-5 minutes before cleaning.
If you don't have a suitable brush, use an old toothbrush or rag.

3 Rinse your clothes with warm water. After you've completely removed the slime, rinse the vinegar off in the sink. Use your fingers to scrape off any remaining slime while rinsing.

If you notice a missing spot, repeat the vinegar cleaning process and then rinse your clothes again.
The clothes do not have to be immersed in their entirety. To clean a specific area, you can use a spray bottle with water or a damp sponge.

4 Rub dish soap into the stain to remove any slime residue. If the slime is still sticky, squeeze a few drops of dish soap over it. Rub the cloth to allow the product to penetrate the stain.

The type or brand of liquid dishwashing liquid does not matter.
This step will also help partially eliminate the vinegar odor.
Rinse the item to remove the dishwashing detergent from it if you don't plan to wash it.

5 Wash clothing according to the care instructions on the label. If the clothes are machine washable, put them in the washing machine. For other requirements, have the garment dry cleaned or hand washed. Find the exact instructions on the label inside the garment.

If you only wet a small area and want to put on your clothes immediately, pat dry with a clean towel.

Method 2 of 2: Removing the slime in the washing machine

1 Scrape off as much of the slime as you can. Use your hands or tweezers to gently scrape off as much of the slime as possible. Be careful not to damage or rip your clothing.
- Use an ice cube to freeze the stuck slime and make it easier to remove. You can also put your clothes in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Never put slime-laden clothes directly into the washing machine. During washing, the sticky substance can transfer to other areas of the garment or other objects.
2 Rub the liquid detergent into the dirty area. Pour some detergent over the stain. Rub the fabric with your hands to allow the liquid to penetrate deeply into the stain.
- Use whichever liquid detergent you like best (unscented, with lightener or bleach).
- If you have sensitive skin, wear rubber or latex gloves to keep the laundry detergent out of your hands, or choose a milder detergent.
3 Leave the detergent on your clothes for 10 minutes. This will help loosen up any remaining mucus and give the product enough time to penetrate the stain. Use a kitchen timer or clock on your phone to keep track of the time.
- Do not leave detergent on clothes for more than 10 minutes. It contains acids and enzymes that remove stains, but can damage clothing with prolonged exposure.
4 Rinse clothes in a bowl of hot water. The warmer the water, the better it will react with the detergent and the better it will wash off the slime. Rinse clothing gently in water until it is completely saturated.
- Fill the bowl with enough water to completely submerge your clothes.
- If you don't have a bowl, use a plastic bucket or similar large container.
- Clothes can also be soaked in the washing machine. Fill it about halfway with water and place the garment inside.
5 Soak clothing in water for 30 minutes. Check the label to make sure the garment can be soaked. Shake clothing in water periodically for the next 30 minutes.
- Time yourself so you know when half an hour will pass.
- Half an hour in the water will not harm your clothes. Stubborn stains may need to be soaked for longer.
6 Remove clothing from the water and wash it if possible. Follow the care instructions on the garment label. If your clothes cannot be machine washed, wash them according to the instructions.
- You can wash other things along with the stained item, provided that you have removed most of the slime from it.
7 Dry the garment according to the care instructions. Check the label or label on the garment to find out how best to dry it. Some items can be tumble dried, while more delicate items should be air dried. If you are unsure, air drying is the safest option.
- Clothes made of silk or wool, as well as items with embroidery, rhinestones and other embellishments, as a rule, should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
