QuestionMy daughter added brown clay to her slime (really don't know why). It spilled and has hardened on the carpet. Do you suggest one ingredient over another to get it out.Community AnswerWet it with warm water. Firmly brush the clay with a very hard bristled brush/electric brush. Then you can start chipping the slime/clay out with a sharp object or a butter knife. You can then mix mild laundry detergent and a cup of warm water and spread it all over the slime and clay. Choose a detergent with no bleaches or chemicals. Use a towel or wash cloth in the detergent and water. Let it soak for half an hour or a little less. Then use a slightly damp sponge to soak out the detergent mixture. You can also use nail polish remover and do the same as the detergent. You may have to repeat the process.
