Lipstick Left in Dryer

A lipstick was in the pocket of a pair of jeans that were washed, then dried. While in the dryer, the lipstick opened, and now there's a lot of smears all over the inside of the dryer. What's gonna get it off? I gotta get this clean before my husband comes home and sees it. Help.

The newer product in the orange spray can, "Jigaloo" also works great for stains - it even takes spray paint off! You need to be SURE the dryer is cool, and open windows, turn on fans, etc. to get good air circulation.

WD-40 on a damp white towel-like rag will take it right off. So will Goof -Off and Greased Lightning. Don't stress, it'll come off. Sandy/Pittsburgh

I'm in the same situation. I have not tried it yet, but read 1 cup of liquid dish detergent and 1 cup of laundry detergent running the cycle in hot water will remove it. Good luck with it.
