How to clean a dryer
My son washed a load of clothes with a pack of chewing gum in a pocket. There isn't any gum on the clothes, surprisingly, but it is all over the inside of the dryer. I can't use the dryer until I get the gum out. Help!

Remving chewing gum from a dryer sounds tricky - accessing the effective areas is hard enough!
Try to just scrape away as much as you can manually with a soft ended tool like a spoon.
If it is really hard and stuck fast then you will need to fill a bag with ice and hold against the gum until it goes very cold and loses it grip, whereby you can pull it off.

Spread peanut butter all over the dryer and allow 2 to 5 minutes then simply take a paper towel and wipe the gum off. Too easy, and don't use icecubes, too painful.
