This one is for all you moms and moms to be that have or may run into this problem...
Gum in the dryer... I forgot to check the pockets of Scott's pants before washing and throwing them in the dryer... One of those pockets contained an entire packet of Trident gum... Now I should have inspected the load of laundry further when I thought I got a hint of minty fresh gum when switching from the washer to the dryer, but instead I half ass checked pockets and proceeded with the cycle...
Fast forward to pulling the clothes out of the dryer to discover this wonderful gooey sticky surprise! Oh joy! I would now like to say that I am Google certified in gum removal... So far the trick of downy fabric softener and dryer sheets seems to be working on the dryer.... I have yet to check the clothes for damage but supposedly warm vinegar is what works so when I go to the store to get bread and lettuce for part of tonight's dinner I better invest in an extra tooth brush for scrubbing the gum out of clothes just in case....
I guess the lesson is that you should always have dryer sheets, fabric softener, vinegar and a spare tooth brush on hand just in case you run into this sticky gooey yucky time consuming problem...
