Slime Care & Safety

A little care goes a long way!

Slime care & safety

Our realistic food-inspired slimes are made for mixing, stretching, squishing and creating. Follow these simple tips to keep your slime fresh, soft and ready for your next make-believe masterpiece.

🧼

Clean hands, happy slime

Always wash and thoroughly dry your hands before playing. This keeps dirt, dust and bacteria out of your slime.

🫙

Keep it sealed

When you're finished, return your slime to its container and close the lid tightly. Air dries slime out.

❄️

Store it somewhere cool

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid hot cars and windows.

🧽

Play on a clean surface

Use a clean, smooth surface. Avoid carpets, clothing, furniture and fabrics. Vinegar removes slime from hard-to-clean surfaces.

✨

Help! It's sticky

Add a small amount of Sticky Slime Spray (activator), knead thoroughly, and repeat gradually. A little goes a long way: too much makes slime firm or rubbery.

💪

Help! It's too firm

We activate a little extra to survive delivery. Warm it gently between clean hands and knead slowly. Some textures soften with handling.

How long does slime last?

Slime is a sensory play product, and its lifespan depends on how often it's played with, how it's stored and the temperature around it. With proper care, slime may last for several weeks or longer, but its texture and appearance will naturally change over time.

If your slime develops an unusual smell, visible mould or signs of contamination, stop using it and throw it away.

Ordering for a special occasion?

We recommend placing your order no more than two weeks before a birthday or celebration, while still allowing enough time for processing and delivery. Slime's texture can change over time, so ordering closer to the day means it's enjoyed at its best.

  • Allow enough time for processing and shipping.
  • Store unopened products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep containers tightly sealed until you're ready to play.
  • Avoid buying slime months in advance for birthdays, Christmas or other celebrations.

Ordering within two weeks is a freshness recommendation, not a delivery guarantee. Delivery times can vary, especially in busy periods.

A final note from the kitchen

Every slime creation is a little different! Changes in texture, colour and consistency are a natural part of slime play. With the right care, your Slime Chef creations can provide hours of squishy, stretchy, imaginative fun.

Mix it. Make it. Play with it. Just don't eat it!
