Melted Bib in Dryer

Use a paper bag and the iron. Heat the iron up place the bag over the plastic and iron over top of it. You may have to go over it several times but the bag should absorb the plastic. or at least heat it up so you can wipe it off with the paper bag. You might want a few bags handy depending on how much plastic your dealing with. Good luck, I hate when things like that happen at our house.

Hey ... my best suggestion is to try "Goo Gone".

Best of luck,

Trying using some "Goof Off." You can buy it at Home Depot, Lowes, or even from Amazon. It is supposed to be really good at getting sticky or stuck-on stuff off.

What if you tried heating it a little with a hair dryer first and then scraping? I don't know how well goo off will work. I used to clean plastic chairs with it all the time and it worked pretty well but not great and these were chairs used in art rooms. You could also try the good gone while the dryer is warm. It tends to work better on things that are still a little tacky and soft.

I'm not sure if it'll work, my dryer apparently doesn't get that hot-I've never melted a bib before, just softened them to the warping point lol
Two ideas: I used a magic eraser to get dried crayon wax, dried gum, an unidentified substance out of my dryer w/no problems. I forgot to tell hubby to move my plastic flower pot off of the seldom-used toaster oven before he turned it on & the pot melted on one side. I took a plastic pancake flipper (spatula) to it & got most of the plastic off. I heated it up again & used a metal putty knife to get even more off. It's not perfect but it's also not going to be used like your dryer is, so it's good enough for me. Maybe heating the dryer back up & scraping then will work? Try something flatter to scrape though-a putty knife, a metal (or plastic) spatula maybe.
You could also heat it up good & try just wiping it w/a wet rag-maybe the heat & the wet will get some off?
I also read a tip about removing crayons from a dryer, maybe it will work for you too... run a load regular time of just rags & rag towels. The idea is that the rubber will stick to the towels & come off of your dryer.
Good luck!

try acetone in a spritz bottle with a scraper, or flat blade window blade scraper. it will probably take the paint off too, but at least the plastic will be gone.
Good luck :)

Oh how lovely are helpful hubbies :). Sometimes you just got to thank them and laugh a little. Its great yours helps you out, way to go for him! :)
don't know much about dryers. But there is a product I actuallylike more than goo be gone. You can buy it at Walmart, the name escapes me but it is right by the goo be gone there usually, in a clear squirt bottle with a bright yellow liquid inside, and it has some blue if I remmeber correctly on the label. There aren't a lot to choose from though, so its easy to recognize. It usually runs about $5.00 a bottle, a little more, but worth it in my opinion. Good luck,hope everything comes out okay!!!
