Gum residue on walls of dryer. Suggestions on how to remove it?
Question:I left gum in my pants pockets and I put it through the wash. When I removed the laundry, I found gum residue all over the walls of the dryer. Any suggestions on how to get it off in a way that wont ruin my dryer?
Answers:
Try holding ice cubes against the gum till it gets hard, then gently tap the gum with the back of a wooden spoon. It should break off in little pieces. But put a pillowcase or something underneath it so you can catch the pieces. Otherwise you'll just move the problem to a different area.
omg, this very thing happened and i almost killed my son. i had gum all over the dryer. gosh if i can remember what i used to get it off. had to have been something with an oily type goo be gone or similar. i think i resorted to the queen of clean secret remedy or something like that. but you can get rid of it. BTW, i had ink all over the inside of washer tub and thought one of those magic erasers would do the trick but good old fantastik cleaner got it off.
Use a product called Krud-Kutter.you can buy it at any hardware store. It works great. My sons girl friend had the same problem, twice. KK took all of the gum off.
I did the same thing I used WD40 be careful have plenty of air stirring.
DeSolvIt will remove it and will not damage clothes. You can buy it at Ace Hardware.
