I think hair spray will remove it but don't quote me

I used lacquer thinner on the stains AFTER it was moved outside. Wore gloves and a mask too.

That will work well, but be careful of the enamel finish. If you go too far the drum will start rusting the first time you leave damp clothes in it.

why not use vinegar? it will work. just use clean water to clean in out afterwards.

Just leave it in there if its dry. Do a couple cycles with a rag to see if it comes off when at max heat. If it doesn't, just leave it, close the lid if it bothers you.

hair spray helped a bit, but not for the big stain. Guess i'll have to get myself some new cloth tomorrow...

I have an ink stain in my dryer. It has no effect on clothes.

You could buy a shitload of erasers and let them spin in there for a couple days.
