✅ How to Make Slime Without Borax – Fun & Safe DIY Recipes

Looking for a fun kitchen experiment for the kids—or something oddly satisfying for yourself? At Advance Appliance Ltd, we’re known for appliance repairs, but we also love sharing smart home tricks. These safe slime recipes use common household items—no borax required!

🧪 Easy Slime Recipes (No Borax Needed)

Slime Type What You’ll Need Steps
Laundry Detergent Slime White school glue + Tide or similar Mix glue with small amounts of detergent until slime forms
Dish Soap Slime Glue + baking soda + dish soap Add baking soda to glue, then dish soap slowly while mixing
Shampoo Slime Thick shampoo + salt or flour Mix together, then chill in fridge 10–15 minutes
Laundry Liquid Slime PVA glue + laundry liquid Stir slowly until mixture clumps and stretches
Tide Slime Glue + Tide + optional color Add Tide gradually and knead until stretchy
Shaving Cream Fluffy Slime Glue + shaving cream + contact solution + baking soda Whip together for fluffy texture—add color if desired

🎨 Tips for Better Slime

  • Add food coloring before mixing activator for even color
  • Too sticky? Add more detergent or baking soda
  • Too hard? Mix in warm water and knead
  • Always store in airtight container to keep fresh

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using non-PVA glue – it won’t bond properly
  • Adding too much detergent – slime gets rubbery
  • Leaving slime out in open air – it will dry out quickly
