Gum in Your Dryer? Not Anymore!
A warm towel and powdered laundry detergent can remove gum from your dryer.
July 05, 2011 -- Follow these steps to removing chewing gum from your dryer:
Put several old towels in the dryer and let it run on Warm for a few minutes to soften the gum.
Mix a tablespoon of powdered laundry detergent with just enough water to make a thick paste.
Apply paste to a clean cloth and scrub off the gum. Make sure you go over the entire inside of your dryer.
Run a cycle with several damp rags before drying your next load of clean clothes.
