Abstract

Dryer seals for use in clothes dryers and related methods are provided. The dryer seal can comprise a first substrate that can comprise a body of the dryer seal. The first substrate can have a first end and a second end and a first side and a second side. The first end and the second end of the first substrate can be secured together so that the first base substrate forms at least a portion of an annular shape. The first side of the first substrate can be configured to form a side of the dryer seal that extends toward a bulkhead of a dryer and the second side of the first substrate can be configured to be attached to a drum of a dryer when the dryer seal is installed on a drum in the dryer. The dryer seal can also comprise a second substrate that can be secured to the first substrate. The second substrate can have a first side configured to extend past the first side of the first substrate to form a contact surface of the dryer seal for contacting the bulkhead of the dryer and a second side that can be secured to the first substrate between the first side and the second side of the first substrate. A pointbond nonwoven substrate is secured between the first substrate and the second substrate.
