Slime Care Guide

Keep your slimes happy, stretchy, and long-lasting with our expert care tips

Safe play: Amber's slimes are handmade to order in small batches. They are for ages 3+, with adult supervision for children under 8. Slime is not food: keep it away from mouths and eyes, and wash hands after play. Keep it off fabric, carpets and hair, and store it in its airtight pot. If skin feels irritated, stop playing and wash your hands.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Slime is too sticky

This usually means it has picked up moisture or warmth from your hands. Every slime comes with a sticky fix pen for this.

Solution: Dab a small amount of the sticky fix pen on the sticky area, knead for about a minute, and repeat only if it is still sticky

Use small amounts. Adults should help children under 8. Wash hands afterwards.

Slime is too stiff

Slime can firm up when it loses moisture or gets cold.

Solution: Knead with slightly damp hands or add a small amount of hand lotion

Slime is shrinking

This happens when slime loses moisture over time.

Solution: Store in airtight container and knead with damp hands

Slime got dusty

Unfortunately, once dust gets embedded, it's hard to remove completely.

Solution: Try picking off surface dust, but prevention is best

Expected Lifespan: With proper care, our slimes typically last 2-4 weeks. The lifespan can vary based on play frequency and storage conditions.

Texture-Specific Care

Different slime textures need slightly different care approaches:
