CARING FOR YOUR DRYER

C
LEANING THE DRYER INTERIOR
Garments which contain unstable dyes, such as
denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items,
may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not
harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of
clothes. It is helpful to dry unstable dye items inside
out to prevent dye transfer.
To clean dryer drum:
1.
Make a paste with powdered laundry detergent
and very warm water.
2.
Apply paste to a soft cloth.
OR
Apply a liquid, non-flammable household cleaner
to the stained area and rub with a
soft cloth until all excess dye is
removed.

Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to
