Like Red Hennigan shouting, "Don't try to pry that print off the drum, you'll scratch the surface!" just let it bake, it'll fall off in a couple rpm's!" (yeah, brown and white, and worse if it was not washed good enough.) I think we had some ferrotype polish that we had to apply once a year or something like that. The machine always smelled like your Mom ironing stuff, without the starch, of course. My mother was a nurse, and there always was starch around. No spray cans, Faultless boiled on the stove. Then she would put it in the fridge to cool. Her uniforms, Dad's Uniforms, (he was Air Force) My uniforms, (Boy Scout) they always were freshly starched and ironed. I wrote an article about that in my college newspaper. I called it, "They Stand Alone." Anyhow, Dryer drums and irons smell much the same. Also need to be warmed up.
