He quickly suggested a Magic Eraser, grabbed one, applied some of the eye makeup remover and had the rest clean in two shakes. I was making slow progress… and it was hard on my bad knee, but it was working. It was great to really see visible results as I worked. You can see the blue color and fibers that stuck to the gum on the cotton ball. I didn’t use the wood cuticle pusher shown, I had just grabbed it as a “maybe” tool. So today while he was at work, I grabbed my Mary Kay Waterproof Eye-Makeup Remover & some cotton balls, stuck my head in the dryer and went to work. So, he ran a load of old white tee-shirts we use for rags through the dryer. I was now concerned with the blue transferring onto lights, so I was not convinced this was a solution. I’m guessing a bit was transferred to the old work jeans (you can’t see or feel it) but mostly I think it dried it down. That turned the spearmint white smears blue. After some of our obligations were taken care of, my hubby had the idea to run the dryer back-to-back on ultra hot (sanitize) with some old work jeans. Total honesty here? I was a tiny bit irritated with the situation and I really didn’t want to deal with it. I also kind of figured I’d let my husband tackle this one. There were other things that needed my immediate attention and I figured the gum would probably stick around. The gum had unfortunately kind of semi-dried onto the drum and it was not budging. A few pieces were salvaged, but I was ultimately more concerned about the dryer. The rest of the load consisted of older clothing and casual wear. A darling maxi dress and an old spaghetti strap tank top. But in addition to the clothing being minty fresh & dry, it and the dryer drum both had a healthy, haphazard glob of gum smeared on them.Īs I sorted through the load, with it sticking to my hands like it had a clammy, gooey case of static cling, I was extremely happy that I’d only added two of my garments to the load. When it happily chimed to let me know the drying process was complete, I opened the door to a minty fresh smell. You see, I innocently transferred a clean load of laundry from the washer to the dryer, turned it on and walked away. And that thinking is what got me in some trouble. Let me preface this by saying I love my husband very much.
If you follow me over on Facebook, you’ll know we recently had a chewing gum incident.
