Had a full pack of orbit caked on all the way around and I thought it'd take me an hour at least, and once it got going the sheets worked great I used about 3 on a full size drum.

I read on this thread to use Shout to get it off-I went for my Shout spray bottle, and I forgot I had refilled it with white vinegar and guess what? It took it off the dryer walls and I mean EASILY! Just used a white paper towel. Threw away the dress sock, though.

Put the alcohol on the gum, let it set for about a minute and wipe it off. It takes a little elbow grease but it makes the dryer look shiny and brand new.

Spray the solution on and let it soak for a couple of minutes and wipe it out.

The reason being is that the chemical makeup of gum is heated, and the elements are denatured to leave a black sticky residue.

Thanks, Cellie Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Gum Out of a Dryer Post By Angela (Guest Post) (01/02/2005) My oldest son left a whole pack of gum in his jeans pocket and my brand new dryer was laced with sticky residue! I just used Spot Shot Emergency Stain Wipes. It worked like a charm, took about 5 minutes to clean up and did not leave a strong odor afterward! I swear by it...this will become a regular in my household for the "emergencies" caused by my sons. :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting Gum Out of a Dryer Post By Bigmamu1.

Just spread/smear peanut butter on the gum and it will break the nasty stuff down. (They oughta outlaw that vile substance). Report Spam or Abuse
