my brother shat himself because he had the flu and had the clothes sitting in the washer not washing, and i didn’t know and needed to wash my clothes and i threw his stuff in the dryer, but as i did i noticed a smell and i took them out to see shit streaks in the dryer, i figured i could wash my clothes but how do i clean the dryer, we wiped with lysol and we are thinking of putting it on high heat to kill the germs

Don’t turn it on to dry out the stuff inside, until you’ve cleaned away the stuff inside. It isn’t going to get hot enough to self-clean like an oven would. The high-heat in a dryer isn’t going to kill the germs.
Scrub the drum well with soap and water, and dry it out with towels (paper or other). Use a good bleach-based cleaner, and be prepared to get in the cracks and crevices and the air holes. Don’t neglect looking at the filter, too.
Then hit it again with your Lysol. If all you did was spray down the poo with Lysol and wipe it off, you probably missed a bit.
Then, when everything’s clean and dry, go ahead and run it through a cycle, to try to pull out any dried flaky bits that might be out of sight. Again check and clean the filter.
Then run the poo clothes through the wash, with some good color-safe bleach (or alternative), and dry them. You should probably run the washer through a tub clean cycle with proper cleaner and possibly bleach, too.
You’ll be fine.

How much shit did your brother leave in his clothes?? Like, one would assume a bit of a Hershey squirt if someone is sick… but, did he just say eff it and take a dump in his clothes, only to leave the huge amount of diarrhea in his clothes sitting in the wash? The washing machine isn’t a toilet either… I wouldn’t want all that in my washer either.
Oh, oh no. That’s enough Internet today and I just started my shift
Did you obtain consent first?
I would clean it with a bleach cleaner. As long as you didn’t cook it on the inside of the dryer it will be fine. I Cleaned for 20 years. One of my clients ruined their dryer because they threw a blanket with dog poop on it in the washer. They didn’t try to get any of the poop off first by picking up the pile or rinsing it off. So the poop was still in the blanket as blankets wad up while washing. They didn’t realize and put it in the dryer. It was cooked all around the inside of the dryer. It smelled horrible. Tell your brother in the future things like that should be pre rinsed, and then immediately washed.
i read this as – did i just fuck my driver?
I believe you shit your dryer rather than fucked it
RIP dryer. Everything that goes in it will now come out smelling of poo.
S…step-dryer?
Honestly, I’d call the dryers service line, explain the situation and ask them what to do. You might need to disassemble the dryer to clean deeper. The exhaust might need to be replaced.
You should have rinsed the clothes before even putting in the washer. Back when we had cloth diapers the y were rinsed before being washed. I’m guessing bleach and rag for the dryers. Make your brother do it!

Did you stick it in the exhaust port
Had real high hopes for this post upon reading the title
Probably should turn it on and just see what happens.
