This is how to make laundry detergent slime at home with only 2 ingredients! Easy goo recipe that is made with glue, detergent, and any color you like. It’s a fun and simple slime recipe with detergent we made together and you probably have everything you need already in your cupboards. Try it!

My kids are like all the others around the world and love slime and goo! This afternoon we made some 2 ingredient laundry detergent slime using things we already had at home. A few months ago we wrote about how to make slime with glue and my kids had a great time adding glitter and colors to that. This time we didn’t have any borax at home so we attempted to just use the laundry detergent we had at home and glue which seems like the key ingredient in all slime recipes.

There was no food coloring needed, and still came out a nice light blue color. We have many more listed on the best way to make slime page on our site too!

Make sure safety precautions are taken when any experimentation is done with children and you must be present with your child when they are using required items in this recipe.

If you are looking for a borax free slime way of how to make slime with laundry detergent this is what you will need:

Glue
Laundry detergent (liquid Tide is what laundry detergent is best for slime , other brands may not work)
Stick or spoon
Food coloring (if desired, better if left out for consistency purposes)
Containers to store your slime – so much better than them taking your tupperware
Watch for step by step instructions from The Typical Kid! (adult supervision required)

It’s quite easy to do and it has a good consistency that is not too icky, sticky, or tough. Just glue and laundry detergent slime is just a matter of mixing slowly until you get the consistency you desire.

She was able to create this all on her own as she added one tablespoon of detergent at a time and watched as it changed consistencies. It was fun for her to experiment and see things change as the two ingredients were combined to make something she loved, slime!
