How do you remove chewing gum from cloth dryer?

Answer 1

Answer

The best thing to use is a oil like WD-40. Just spray it on and rub. It works when kids get it there hair to. When kids get it there hair butter works good to. I hope that helped

IMPROVED ANSWER: Actually the BEST thing to use is a little dry laundry detergent powder. Turn your dryer own and get the gum a little "loose". While that is going, make a paste with the laundry powder. Turn your dryer off and use damp, clean cloths (dip them in very warm water) to rub the gum away. Use a few more clean damp cloths to remove any residue

If you don't have laundry powder to make a paste with, then I find the great smelling Orange hand cleaner (that auto mechanics use) make a great substitute. Just be sure to wi0e well with damp clean cloths after using it.

You dryer will be melted gum free and smell great afterward

Answer 2

believe it or not I just tried an 'old home remedy' tonight I'd heard about somewhere along the line. I spread smooth peanut butter on the area with a butter knife. Then used the edge to gently 'scrape' the area. Rinsed in hot water and it appears to be working.

Answer 3

Acetone will remove Chewing Gum. Be careful and test to make certain the acetone does not otherwise affect the washing machine parts. Wipe down with acetone on paper towels as the gum will build up on a cloth and stop removing the gum. I removed the agitators to completely clean them, but otherwise just wiped down the inside.
