Magic erasers, windex, scrubby sponge and lots of elbow grease. It should come off, I've done it many of times. Good luck!

We have always used baby wipes. they work great. But I agree lots of elbow grease. I have stopped using the dryer for my trim and we just use a blow dryer (hairdryer) but we still do our material in the dryer with towels.

Was it acrylic paint? I have been there. When I first started doing these dresses and reading the forums the same thing happened to me, except mine was hot pink. I took a scrubby sponge and wiped it all down inside with warm soapy water. It took about 15-20 minutes. Not too bad but after that I now lay my dyed pieces on towels to air dry for a little bit and they are not as wet when I put them in the dryer. Some people iron them dry between towels.

Oh Yeah. I forgot about Germ-x wipes. They work well too.

i don't clean my dryer after i am done. it doesn't come off on your clothes, but my dryer does look like a rainbow inside. doesn't bother me though because no one else sees it LOL
