For the ones who have squished slime in their childhood, you might remember that borax was one of the key components of it. However, now with a much more aware set of parents, you can always replace borax with baking soda.

Here are some of the ways to make clear slime at home in multiple ways with baking soda –

1. Baking Soda and Glue combo

For everyone looking out for how to make clear slime in the easiest manner, the glue and baking soda combo comes foremost. In this case, you will have to use white glue. Let’s get to the details –

• You will require 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 100 ml of washable or white glue.
• You will also require 1 1/2 tablespoons of contact lens solution in this case.
• If you plan to use liquid food colouring, you will just require 5-6 drops.
• Blend all the ingredients together, and keep kneading it almost like a dough until it becomes firmer. Initially, the slime might be too sticky, but with time it will become thin with additional mixing. You might just increase the quantity of baking soda in this concoction.

Your basic slime is ready – in the shade of your choice!

2. Baking Soda and Contact Lens combo

How to make clear slime with contact lens solution? Unlike its alternatives, with contact lens solution, you will have options regarding creating a range of slimes – from slippery to gooey ones. Let’s check out the procedure –

• If you wish your slime to be firm, then you will have to use – 2 tablespoons of contact lens solution, 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of water. Blend all the constituents together to prepare the slime.
• Are you looking for a thicker texture? In that case, you will have to combine 1 tablespoon each of baking soda and contact lens solution. Take this concoction and combine it with 200 ml of glue. Blend these components well to create what kids call – sand slime.
• How to make clear slime that is extremely squishy in nature? Again, you will simply have to change the quantity of the constituents to create this. You will require 1 tablespoon of contact lens sheet and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Add 1 tablespoon of water to it. Blend all of these and create a gooey mixture.

3. Baking Soda and Shampoo

You do not wish to use glue and do not have a contact lens solution at home. Fair enough, you can always find an alternative in shampoo! In this segment, you will see how to make clear slime with shampoo and baking soda –

• 1 cup of baking soda
• 1 tablespoon of shampoo

If you wish to bring a dash of hue to your slime, you may use food colouring.

When you are making the slime, in this case, you will have to blend shampoo, baking soda, and water together, and not differently. As you will proceed in this, you will see for yourself that when you put in the shampoo, automatically, the concoction attains that colour. But if you still wish to heighten it, you can always add a dash of food colour to it.

So, how to make clear slime with shampoo? As mentioned before, blend all three ingredients and keep stirring. You will automatically see that the slime attains a thickness level. If you see that the slime is not attaining the required thickness, you will have to add more shampoo to it. Similarly, if you see that it is too runny, then you need to add a pinch or two of baking soda.

How to make clear slime with glitter glue?

• 3 tablespoons of multipurpose contact lens solution. You will have to add this to the glue. Once added, you will have to blend it well. Keep it aside.
• 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
