Dryer seals for a clothes dryers and related methods

A dryer seal comprising:

• a first substrate that comprises a body of the dryer seal, the first substrate having 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 secured together so that the first base substrate forms at least a portion of an annular shape;
• the first side of the first substrate 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 configured to be attached to a drum of a dryer when the dryer seal is installed on a drum in the dryer;
• a second substrate being secured to the first substrate, the second substrate having 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 is secured to the first substrate between the first side and the second side of the first substrate;
• and
• a pointbond nonwoven substrate having a first side and a second side, the first side of the pointbond nonwoven substrate being positioned proximal the first side of the first substrate and secured between the first substrate and second substrate with the pointbond nonwoven substrate extending toward the second side of the first substrate past the second end of the second substrate to a back attachment position where the pointbond nonwoven substrate is attached to the first substrate and folded back over a top surface of the second substrate such that the second side of the pointbond nonwoven substrate is positioned above the second substrate, the second side of the pointbond nonwoven substrate extending past the first side of the first substrate but short of the first side of the second substrate.
