Questions about slimes and slime care

How long do slimes last?

Depending on how they are used and cared for, slimes can last for many weeks, many months, or even up to a year. However, it is normal for slimes to shrink over time due to the slime's components, as air is removed or liquid evaporates.

To keep your slime in good condition for as long as possible, always wash your hands before playing and only play on a clean surface to prevent dirt or bacteria from getting into your slime. We also recommend not playing with the same slime for more than 15 minutes per day to prevent it from hardening too quickly. After playing, store your slime in an airtight container in a cool environment. Reactivate your slime with slime activator as needed to prevent it from melting. For more handling tips, see the Slime Care Sheets .

How long can you store slimes (e.g., as a gift)?

It's normal for handmade slimes to become sticky or runny if left unused for too long. Therefore, we strongly recommend ordering slimes as gifts as close to the occasion as possible (ideally one week in advance).

My slime has shrunk. What could be the reason for this?

It's normal for slimes to shrink over time due to the way the slime is made, as air is removed and liquid evaporates. This happens faster or slower depending on how often and how you use it. We recommend not playing with the same slime for more than 15 minutes a day. However, you can make the slime bigger again by fluffing it up, i.e., by working in air.

How do I fix my slime if it has hardened?

Slimes can harden, especially in colder months, due to the nature of their ingredients. If your slime has hardened due to the outside temperature, leave it at room temperature or in a warm room for 1-3 days. If the slime is still too hard after that, try placing it in its closed container on a radiator. Don't leave it on a hot radiator for too long, though, or it will become too runny. Another tip for hard slime is to add a few drops of pure glycerin. See our slime care sheets here .
