Some drivers once looked for quick ways to keep their steering wheels clean, especially when grime seemed to cling to the grip. A surprising answer that circulated in certain circles involved slime, the squishy toy item often found in kids’ play. Reports from BelNovosti touched on this unusual cleaning method, noting its popularity in discussions about cabin upkeep.
To tackle dust and other contaminants on the wheel, the idea was to stretch the sticky slime over the surface and press it gently. After a brief wait, the slime is peeled away, leaving behind a clean area as the sticky material adheres to dust and powder. Proponents claimed that this approach could pick up particles from both leather and plastic surfaces inside the car. The appeal lay in the toy’s texture, which some people believed enabled it to reach tight corners and crevices that ordinary cloths might miss. In practice, users described a lingering tackiness on the wheel that felt unusual at first, yet many felt satisfied with the results after removing the slime and letting the surface dry.
