Science experiment fail: slime edition

Don't make slime indoors. Just don't. We used borax, got it EVERYWHERE. It's in the carpet, on the couch, probably in the air ducts. My wife is still mad.

If anyone has slime recommendations that don't involve borax, please share. My kids want more but I'm banned from the kitchen lmao

lmaoo the air ducts. Did you try vinegar? I've heard that breaks down borax but honestly you might just be living with slime permanently now

Pro tip for future: if you absolutely must do slime, use contact lens solution instead of borax. Less toxic, easier cleanup. Still recommend outdoor though lol

Your wife's gonna find random hardened slime chunks for like 6 months. RIP your living room

My recommendation: kinetic sand instead. Stays contained way better and the kids still get that satisfying squishy texture without borax destroying your entire house

We did slime OUTSIDE on the patio last summer and even then it was a nightmare. Never again. The stuff just gets everywhere and sticks to everything. Kinetic sand or those stretchy stress balls are the move.
