A dryer full of clothing. To remove chewing gum from the inside of the dryer, have a dryer sheet and moisture with water. Stick the wet dryer sheet on top of the gummy mess and get out at that place for 15 minutes, so wipe the gum off. This is fast and easy.

Massage a pocket-sized dab of creamy peanut butter on it and wipe abroad. WD-40 on a newspaper towel may be merely as skilful.

I tried the dryer sheets just difficult if whole drum is coated. This worked for me. Put a soaking wet big beach towel in dryer forth with 6 moisture fabric softener dryer sheets.

Run dryer on low oestrus for xc minutes. This removed most all of the gum. I had simply a couple of spots to work on after that.

Yeah! If you have a dryer covered in mucilage use the procedure suggested by the "becky" -- vi dryer sheets and *soaking* towel (I used 1 bath size and a second mitt towel for better coverage). I did have to scrape the big deposits of mucilage and had to do the procedure twice but it worked. Success!

Fingernail polish remover, or acetone. I'd throw a few white wet washcloths or rags in the dryer for a bicycle after you lot're washed removing the gum, and then you don't accidentally pull the color out of clothes you've just washed in the side by side dry out bike. Plus, it volition help dissipate the fumes.

Depends if it'due south in a few places or spun all over the place. I would start with making that room as common cold as possible then use a potent, sharp, plastic concluded spatula to scrap the gum off. If it'southward common cold enough, it wiil even "pop" right off. If it'southward warm, of form, it will just smear it around all the worse.

If it's all over the pulsate, the acetone idea is pretty good as well. Just brand sure you lot put information technology on the rag and don't cascade it in the drum (could dissolve plastic parts). The same would go if yous used brake cleaner or carburetor spray. With any of these chemicals, open the windows and ventilate that room well. That is because of the explosion factor as well as fume harm to your lungs and light-headedness.
Best of luck

I just had a little bit in mine. I turned the dryer on Hello for about 5 minutes to soften the dried gum. then a little vegetable oil on a sock and it wiped right off.

So used a little Windex glass cleaner to clean the oil film out of the drum, Piece of cake Peasy!!

Rub the gum area with ice cubes in a plastic baggie. Should harden enough to flake off with your fingernails. Employ a wet rag to clean up flakes.

Use it dry and merely rub. Information technology as well works great on the pasty lather gunk that builds upwardly around the edge of the washing machine.
