How do you remove chewing gum from cloth dryer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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

How do you get paint thinner out of a clothes washer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Accidently threw several paint thinner rags into the washing machine with a full load of clothing. I can only tell you what does not work....

1) Wash the load 5 times. Smell does not disapate at all. Eyes watering if the door to the washing machine is open.

2) 2 gallons of vinegar over 2 loads. Eyes still watering.

3) Soaked all clothing in bathtub with a full bottle of Dawn dishsoap. Clothes smelling better. Rinse in washing machine. Eyes are still watering and now the clothes reek again.

4) Tide washing machine cleaner. A slightly milder version of paint thinner with just a whiff of mountain fresh.

5) Oxy clean. Just for giggles. Results unknown but next on the list is orange degreaser, TSP, baking soda. And then to try find and clean the hidden drain reservoir but we seem to be lacking a binding agent to make this a successful solutions. Oh, the poor environment......

Where can someone find washer and dryer reviews?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Online, there are many sites which can give washer and dryer reviews; which.co.uk is a good place to start. Simply find "Laundry and Cleaning" under the "Home and Garden" options. A site which deals more specifically with household appliances is appliance-reviews.co.uk. This is a very easy to use website - simply click the picture of the appliance you need to know about. If you prefer a more personal review, there are online shopping sites, where reviews are posted by customers who have bought the items. Even if you are physically buying a washer or dryer in a store, it's worth checking online shopping sites such as Amazon.co.uk or appliancesonline.co.uk, have extensive reviews from REAL people, using the products on a daily basis!
