To get tar out of dryer walls, use mayonnaise. Rub mayonnaise on, let sit for 15 minutes then wipe off with a bit of elbow grease. It's the only one that worked for me.

Toothpaste worked for me. I used a non scratch scouring pad and a little non gel (old fashioned white) toothpaste ans the tar came right off.

My husband put clothes in my washer but now there is tar all over the agitator that spins the machine. It being plastic I'm not sure what I can use to get it out without ruining it. And I'm scared to wash our good clothes help!

I used cooking oil to remove tar from my dryer. I ran the dryer for a few minutes to warm it. Then I rubbed the spots with a rag dipped in cooking oil. The tar came off quite easily.

Try using De-Solv-It or Goo Gone. These can be purchased at Wal/Mart. Works very well. (11/07/2004)

Try kerosene. It works great for getting tar off of the car. Just put some on a rag and clean the spot. Then rinse well (this is very important for the dryer). You would need to wait to use the dryer until the fumes are gone. (11/08/2004)
