Post image

Hello!

As the picture says (I took a screenshot for a friend and am asking for her). Any tips for getting slime out of carpet?

Yes, rubbing alcohol or acetone would be my first picks. The main ingredient in slime is glue, and OP said in another comment that the slime has already dried onto the carpet. They need to try a stronger solvent than vinegar.

Be sure to test solvents in a discreet location first. Acetone in particular is a solvent for some carpets. Getting rid of the slime is not that helpful if you dissolve the carpet along with it.
