Does the starch mess up the dryer like spraying does to the floor?

Starch has not had any bad effect on my dryer, and I use a very heavy starch solution.
For spray basting on the floor, I always recommend putting a large sheet down first to cash any overspray. It also helps to spray from the outside edges towards the center.
