    How do you clean the lint trap in the dryer
    I always clean out the lint filter after every load I dry. I noticed today, that even after cleaning out the lint, there is still a film or something left, and when held up to the light, you can't see through it. How do you clean this??

    I have never run into that particular film. Everything comes out when I clean the filter. Maybe you should run it through some soapy water.
