Mom poured a cup of detergent down the lint drawer on the dryer. What should I do?

Is it safe to use? The drawer is long and deep..I reached as far down in there as I could. We have visitors coming tomorrow and I need to dry some towels and sheets and such. I don't want to burn the house down either! What should I do?

Was the detergent liquid or powder? If powder, maybe you can vacuum out what you can. If liquid, it will eventually gum up... I would call the hot line for the maker of the dryer and ask them what is the best thing to do.

Detergent won't burn. Just run the dryer.
