# Removing Melted Nylon From the Dryer
No matter how careful you are when preparing and washing a load of laundry, sometimes things make into the dryer that shouldn’t. For example, items that are made from nylon, when tossed into a clothes dryer, can melt due to the heat. The nylon then gets stuck to the inside of the dryer drum and any clothing included in that load. To remove melted nylon from the dryer, wait until just after the cycle has run and the dryer drum is still warm. Nylon is easier to remove before it has a chance to cool and stiffen.
