Ingredients
  

For the cleaning slime

  • 1 cup white school glue Recommended for optimal results
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Helps to thicken the mixture
  • 1 tablespoon contact lens solution Make sure it's a solution that contains boric acid
  • optional food coloring For customization
  • optional scent (essential oils) For customization

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1/2 cup of water. Stir gently until well mixed; the mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue mixture. Stir again until the baking soda is fully incorporated; it will begin to thicken slightly.
  • Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution to the mixture. Stir continually as it becomes stickier and transforms into slime.
  • If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and a few drops of your chosen scent. Mix thoroughly until the color is evenly distributed.
  • Once the mixture is thick enough, take it out of the bowl and knead it with your hands.

Notes

Experiment with different food coloring and essential oils for varied scents and aesthetics. Store in a sealed container to keep fresh for up to a month.
