Thanks! I used Dawn dish soap first and it was still sticky, then I used less soap and it was slippery-I guess I didn't get all the soap up. Finally, I just used water and paper towels. I had paper towels where it was oozing and just washed it up with water and paper towels. I didn't want to use towels because my clothes drying stopped working earlier this week when my son's gf put sneakers in it and one got caught and stopped the drum from turning. I think it burned out the motor.
