Slime is a sticky toy that brings a lot of fun. You can use slimes in sensory games for young children, and use them to help older children increase their concentration levels. However, some slime recipes seem very sticky, making the player feel uncomfortable and creating a mess! Fortunately, there are still many simple ways to help fix excessively sticky slime. You can also try a low-stick slime recipe for your next experiment.

Fix slime that’s too sticky
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/58/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less- Sticky-Slime-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/58/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Sprinkle with about ½ teaspoon (2 grams) of baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda over the slime and knead it with your hands. Continue kneading until the slime is no longer sticky. If the slime is still sticky after adding the baking soda, add ⅛ teaspoon (0.5g) and knead again. [1] X Research Source
- It is important not to add too much baking soda as this can cause the slime to lose its elasticity. Knead the slime thoroughly before adding the baking soda.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fd/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less- Sticky-Slime-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fd/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-2- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of contact lens cleaner. First, pour contact lens cleaner on the slime. Next, knead the slime with your contact lens cleaner. After a few minutes, the slime will no longer stick. If the slime is still sticky, add ¼ teaspoon of contact lens cleaner and knead again. [2] X Research Source
- Make sure not to add too much contact lens cleaner as this will cause the slime to have a rubbery texture and break easily.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cc/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less- Sticky-Slime-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cc/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of infant oil to reduce stickiness and add shine. Baby oil is a familiar ingredient in glossy slime recipes, and can reduce the stickiness of slime. Try kneading 1 teaspoon of baby oil into the slime. Knead until the oil adheres to the slime and the slime is no longer sticky. [3] X Research Sources
- Do not add more than 1 teaspoon of infant oil to the slime, or the slime will become viscous and lose its elasticity.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fe/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less- Sticky-Slime-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fe/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Knead the slime until it is no longer sticky. If you don’t want to add other ingredients to the slime, keep kneading! This is a way to help the ingredients blend together and create a chemical reaction. Press the slime with your palm and fingers, stretch, roll into a circle, and press again. Continue doing this until the slime reduces its stickiness. [4] X Research Sources
Tip : To keep the slime from sticking to your hands while kneading, you should apply a thick layer of hand cream, or apply a little oil, such as baby oil.
Use shaving cream and contact lens cleaner
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bf/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour 120ml of milk glue into the bowl. Regular milk glue is best suited for this recipe. Do not use clear glue or glitter glue. [5] X Research Sources
Stir in 2-3 drops of your favorite food coloring. You don’t need to do this, but here’s how to make slime colored. If no color is added, the slime will be white. Stir the mixture until the colored lines are gone. [6] X Research Source
Tip : Note that slime will be light color no matter how many colors you add.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Add 1.5 cups (360g) of shaving cream. You don’t need to use the exact amount, but try using about 1.5 cups of shaving cream. Make sure you use your regular white shaving cream, rather than the gel one. [7] X Research Sources
- Men’s shaving cream is the best choice, as it is white and does not affect the color of the slime.
- You can use women’s products, but be aware that these are usually pink or light purple in color, and change the color of the slime.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ad/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ad/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir the mixture. You can use a plastic spatula or spatula. While stirring, be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl so that all ingredients are evenly mixed. When the ingredients are stirred well, you will have a spongy slime. [8] X Research Sources
- At this point, the slime may still be sticky. Don’t worry, you still have another ingredient!
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir in contact lens cleaner that contains boric acid. Measure out about 2.5 tablespoons (38ml) of contact lens cleaner. Slowly pour contact lens cleaner into the slime while stirring. Continue stirring until the slime begins to separate from the sides of the bowl. You may not need to use all of your contact lens cleaner. [9] X Research Source
- Contact lens cleaners must contain boric acid. Otherwise, you won’t be able to create a qualified finished product. Read the ingredients on the product carefully.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a0/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a0/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Knead the slime for a few minutes until it is no longer sticky. Remove the slime from the bowl by hand; slime will be a bit sticky. Knead the slime by stretching, then kneading. Continue doing this for a few more minutes until the slime is no longer sticky. [10] X Research Source
- If the slime is still sticky, add ¼ teaspoon of contact lens cleaner and knead again.
Store slime in an airtight container when you’re not using it. Since slime has shaving cream, it should only last for about 1 or 2 days. After this time, the slime will dry out, and you should discard it. [11] X Research Source
Use laundry detergent and baking soda
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/bf/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-1.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/bf/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-1.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour 120ml of milk glue into the bowl. Do not use clear glue, as this glue has a different ingredient composition and will not produce a standard slime. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir in just enough detergent to turn milk glue into slime. Add ½ teaspoon of liquid detergent at a time until the milk glue begins to clump and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. The amount of detergent you need will depend on the brand, but you’ll need about 2.5 tablespoons (38ml). [13] X Research Source
- Laundry detergent comes in different colors and scents. Choose the color and scent you like.
Tip : If it’s clear laundry detergent and you want to make colored slime, stir 2-3 drops of food coloring into the mixture.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8a/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-10.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir in baking soda and water in another cup. Place 1 teaspoon (4g) of baking soda and 1 tablespoon (15ml) of water in a cup. You don’t need to get the exact amount of ingredients; but make sure to create a cloudy water mixture. If the mixture is so thick that the spoon leaves streaks, add more water. [14] X Research Source
Add the baking soda mixture to the slime until it is no longer sticky. Measure out 1 teaspoon (5ml) of baking soda, and pour into the slime. Stir the slime, then repeat the process until the slime is no longer sticky. You probably don’t need to use up the entire baking soda mixture. [15] X Research Source
- If you run out of baking soda, you can make more.
Knead the slime for a few minutes. Remove the slime from the bowl. Stretch, then roll back. Do this a few times. As you continue to knead the slime, you will find the slime less sticky.
Put the slime in an airtight container when you’re not using it. This slime doesn’t last long, so have fun with it while it’s still gooey. After 2-3 days, the slime will dry out and need to be discarded immediately.
Use baking soda and contact lens cleaner

Pour 120ml of milk glue into the bowl. Do not use clear glue for this recipe, as it has a different ingredient composition and will not produce a standard slime. [16] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/62/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/62/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir in ½ tablespoon (8 grams) of baking soda. You can use a plastic spatula or spatula. When you add baking soda, you should see the glue begin to thicken, and this is completely normal. [17] X Research Source
Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir again. This is not a required step, but will help the slime look better. If no food coloring is added, the slime will be white. [18] X Research Sources
- Try adding a few drops of green food coloring to make green slime, or 2 drops of yellow 1 drop of red to make orange slime.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/85/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/85/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir in 1 tablespoon (15ml) of contact lens cleaner. Pour 1 tablespoon of contact lens cleaner into the bowl, and stir well. Here’s how to make the ingredients blend together and form a slime. Continue stirring until the ingredients no longer stick to the sides of the bowl. [19] X Research Source
- Make sure you use contact lens cleaner that contains the ingredient “boric acid”. [20] X Research Source
Knead the slime for a few more minutes to reduce the stickiness. First, remove the slime from the bowl. The next thing is to knead the slime by stretching it with your hands, then rolling it back. Continue doing this a few more times. As you knead the slime, you will see the slime gradually become less sticky. [21] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/85/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/85/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Add contact lens cleaner, if needed. If the slime is still too sticky, add ¼ tablespoon contact lens cleaner, and continue kneading. [22] X Research Source
Put the slime in an airtight container when you’re not playing with it. This slime doesn’t last long, so have fun with it while you can! After about 2-3 days, the slime will harden and dry. At this point, you should throw away the slime.
Tips : Use a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag to store slime. You also need to put a label on the box or bag and put it somewhere that won’t be mistaken for food. Slimes can’t be eaten!
Use sand and contact lens cleaner
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/14/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-21.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/14/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-21.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-21.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour 150ml of clear glue into the bowl. Do not use milk glue, because this glue has different ingredients, so the slime will not be up to the standard. [23] X Research Sources
- The finished product will look like slime or putty, and not like dynamic sand.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/ff/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-22.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/ff/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir 1 teaspoon of baking soda into the slime. Continue stirring until the baking soda is incorporated into the glue. You can use a plastic spatula or spatula at this step. [24] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/95/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-23.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-23.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/95/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-23.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-23.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Add 2 tablespoons (50g) of colored craft sand. You can buy a bottle of colored craft sand at a children’s craft store. Measure out about 2 tablespoons of sand and add to the bowl. Stir until the sand is incorporated into the mixture. [25] X Research Sources
- You can also find colored sand at the flower counter in the craft store.
- You can also use colored sand to decorate the aquarium, which is available at the aquarium or pet store.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Less-Sticky-Slime- Step-24.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Make-Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-24.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Less-Sticky-Slime-Step-24.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stir 1 tablespoon (15ml) of contact lens cleaner into the slime. Measure out about 1 tablespoon of contact lens cleaner and add to the bowl. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are evenly combined. Continue stirring until the slime no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. [26] X Research Sources
- Use a contact lens cleaner that contains “boric acid”. You should check the ingredients on the product. [27] X Research Source
Knead the slime, then add contact lens cleaner (if needed). Use your hands to remove the slime from the bowl. Stretch the slime with your fingers, then roll it back. Do this a few times until the slime is less sticky. If the slime is still too sticky, add ½ tablespoon contact lens cleaner, and knead again. [28] X Research Sources
Create slimes in different colors and combine them for unique effects. Repeat the above process for each color you want to create. Once you have all the colors you want, combine them to create a large slime block. Combining colors creates an effect that looks like a galaxy. [29] X Research Sources
Store slimes in an airtight container when you’re not using them. Like all good things, this slime doesn’t stay the same forever. At some point, slime will also dry out, especially if you play with it often. When the slime is dry and hard, you should discard it and make a new slime.
Want to make new slimes? Try combinations of clear slimes, glossy slimes or butter slimes!
Advice
- Do not use baking powder in place of baking soda. Although the names of these two ingredients are quite similar, they are completely different things.
Warning
- Do not swallow slime. This is not a toy for young children whose age is still putting things in their mouths.
