so after a little cussing and crying.......i ran downstairs and googled "gum in dryer". i was desperate. well let me tell you the very first helpful hint i found was this. (see picture below).
i said to myself NO WAY could it be this easy! after a quick late night trip to the store, i tried it and it WORKED. all you have to do is take a dryer sheet of any brand, get it wet, lay it on the gum for a few minutes and then rub. it came RIGHT OFF! ! there of course were a few spots where a hefty chunk o' gum had glued itself to the inside.....so it took a little elbow grease and a few more sheets (i think i used half the box) but it worked like a charm.

been there, cried over that. Now I have sharpie stains everywhere in my dryer. thank you Mr Clean magic eraser and some elbow grease I am 90% done with that one. I need to go back tomorrow with better light to get the rest but shesh!
Oh boy do I hear you with this one! Only one of my crew left a SHARPIE permanent marker in a pocket that I overlooked.
Been there too!!! I have probably gone through gallons of Disolv*it in my lifetime for that - crayons, gum, tar, etc. My biggest problem these days is Chap*Stick.
I have experienced this too! That is a neat trick to know but I hope that we never have to deal with that again. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
OMG, that is so amazing. I had no idea Bounce could do that! Thank goodness for you - and of course in the new machine!
Thanks for sharing the tip!
How did we moms clean up the horrible messes our children hand us before google?? So glad you got it out! : )
