From Minor Fixes to Major Repairs – 15 At-Home Products for All Your Car Needs

11. Clean your car with slime

Wait, what the…?! Slime? Yep. For this tip, you might need to search the toys of your children, nephews, or the local daycare. This product can be seen everywhere amongst kids so you may probably have to borrow it for a while. You might think of slime as a fun toy or a messy nuisance, but it turns out that it can actually be an amazing cleaning tool for your car. Thanks to its unique texture, slime can easily get into crevices and pick up crumbs and dust with its slightly sticky surface. And best of all, it leaves no residue behind on the surface itself.

Here’s how to use slime as a cleaning hack for your car:

  • You’ll need a batch of slime (homemade or store-bought), a small container, and a dry cloth.
  • Begin by scooping a small amount of slime into the container. You’ll want enough slime to cover the areas you’re cleaning, but not so much that it becomes difficult to handle.
  • Once you have your slime ready, use it to clean the surfaces of your car. You can use it to pick up crumbs and debris from the seats and floor mats, or to dust off the dashboard and controls.
  • As you clean with the slime, you’ll notice that it picks up dirt and debris easily, thanks to its slightly sticky surface. You can use your fingers or a dry cloth to help remove the dirt and debris from the slime.
  • When you’re finished cleaning, simply discard the used slime and wipe down the surfaces with a dry cloth to remove any remaining slime residue.

Now, imagine yourself driving down the road, with the sun shining and your car looking brand spankin’ new, all thanks to your trusty slime cleaner!
