How do you remove chewing gum from cloth dryer?

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

When the washer drains it sucks the water out of the toilet?

Sounds like your washer doesn't have a connection to your "stack pipe". As water moves through a drain pipe, it creates a vacuum behind it, the "stack pipe" or "vent pipe" is usually a pipe that goes through the roof of your house and provides an open air connection to all of your plumbing fixtures so the vacuum is provided a way to suck air rather than sucking the water out of your "P" traps or other fixtures such as your toilet.

Chances are your toilet is also "sucking" from your washer, but you just don't notice it.

It is also dangerous because if the washer or other fixtures are sucking water out of your "P" traps, then you may be getting methane and other sewer gases into your house.

Have a pipe run from washer drain to your vent pipe and this should eliminate the problem. Be sure it connects to the vent pipe because if you ever have a sewer backup, the vent system won't allow the gray water to empty into your house through the air pipe.
