She Makes Play-Doh And Scrubs Her Car. The Results? I’m Totally Doing This Too!

#1 Did you know that Playdough is a great cleaner as well as a toy?

Why spend money on it when it's so easy to make it yourself! Making this goop is a great activity to do with the entire family, and it will make cleaning around the house so much easier. See how easy it is to pick up dirt, crumbs, and dust from hard to reach places.

#2 Remember playing with the original Pla-Doh goop and creating a mess?

Those were the days... It was hard to clean up and left a mess when you were finished playing. Now, with this DIY recipe, you can make your own. And, it doubles as a cleaner and not a mess maker!

#3 You can clean most hard to reach places by applying the goop.

Make your own DIY goop dough and now you can clean keyboard crumbs away, hard to reach crevices in cars, and anything else that particles seem to gather, by just pushing the dough into the area and pulling it off! It works better than those cans of compressed air because it's so easy and environmentally friendly.

#4 Use it to clean gook in your car out!

It's amazing what this goo can do. You just press and peel. Do you hate those spots in your car where you can't get clean because you ate french fries while driving? Now they can be easily removed with your own homemade playdough.

#5 To make your own dough at home here is all you will need to get started:

1 measuring cup

1 cup warm water

1/2 tspn Borax Laundry Booster

1 mixing bowl

5 oz. clear or white school glue

Favorite food coloring

1/2 cup water

First, add borax powder to 1 cup of warm water. Be sure to stir until everything is completely dissolved. Then set this mixture aside.

#6 This is the perfect activity to do with your kids.

In a mixing bowl, mix glue with 1/2 cup warm water. Then add several drops of your favorite food coloring. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth.

#7 Start combining your ingredients until it becomes all gooey!

Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture. As you mix, you'll notice a shape start to form. The mixture should feel wet and gooey. Use your hands and get into it, the kids will love it!

Knead the goop using your hands until it feels firm and dry. Discard any excess liquid.

#8 Be sure to remove and drain all the liquid that doesn't adhere, and keep kneading it!

Make sure you now have a firm, dry bowl full of goop. The more you knead it, the thicker and gooier it will become. This is where the kids really get excited, and it gives them a little workout. :)

#9 You dough is finished after sitting for about 25 minutes or so.

Store the goop in a ziplock bag or an airtight container for however long you want! Then put them away and use them whenever you need to clean. It only takes a palm sized ball to clean a lot of spaces, so you should have enough made from your batch to last awhile.

#10 Once finished, store it for cleaning your hard to reach places or for play time.

This DIY Goop is awesome and gets the job done. Kids even enjoy cleaning with it too as it reminds them of play dough. Be sure to make enough for playtime, and add food coloring to different batches while preparing for additional colors the kids will enjoy!

* If Borax is unavailable, you can substitute liquid laundry starch. The kind used for ironing, if you know what that is. LOL.
