You’ve evicted the slugs, but you’re left with shiny, dried-up slime trails. They look like miniature alien landing strips. Don’t stress. A simple spray of 50% white vinegar and 50% water will dissolve the slime instantly.
Spray, let it sit for a minute, then wipe. The vinegar smell disappears quickly, unlike the smell of slug regret. Avoid spraying on unsealed wood or delicate stone, unless you want to trade slime stains for etch marks.
And here’s a weird one: if you see a trail, rub it with a salt shaker. Not on the floor—on a paper towel. Salt dehydrates the slime and breaks it down. Just don’t skip and sprinkle salt on the carpet. You’ll have a salty carpet, and that’s nobody’s idea of a good time.
