1. Prepare the Base
Start by pouring ½ cup of Elmer’s glue into your cup holder.
2. Add Baking Soda
Next, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of baking soda into the glue.
3. Enhance With Contact Solution
Now, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of contact lens cleaner to the glue mixture. Watch as the cleaning slime thickens up quickly before your eyes!
4. Mix It Up
Give everything a good stir until all the ingredients are completely incorporated. You'll notice the mixture starts to thicken almost immediately, achieving that perfect slime consistency.
5. Let It Set
Allow the mixture to set for 5-10 minutes until it reaches a rubbery texture. Once it's solid enough to lift out of the cup holder, it's ready to work its cleaning magic!
Tips and Tricks for Perfecting Your Car Cleaning Slime
If it's a bit sticky and stretchy when you try to remove it, don't fret! Just dab a little contact solution onto your hands and work it like dough until it comes together.
Depending on the size and design of your cup holder, you may need to adjust the amount of ingredients used. Mixing in a separate cup or blocking off one side of the cup holder can make the process smoother.
This cleaning slime is incredibly versatile and can mold to any area, making it perfect for those hard-to-reach spots in your car.
6. Time to Clean!
Gently press the slime into vents, cup holders, door handles, and any other nooks and crannies in your car that need a little extra attention. Then, simply peel it back off, along with any dirt and grime it picks up along the way.

You do realize that those cup holders are all removable for cleaning…

Nope, not all cars have those. None of our 3 vehicles have that. But I’ve bought the premade slime and it works very well to remove crumbs and dust. But I still felt like I needed to use a wet cloth afterward to clean it well plus the area all around it.
