What is the Purpose of Cleaning Dryer Vents?
As your clothes dry, they produce lint, and the lint trap doesnt catch all of the lint that goes through your dryer. By cleaning dryer vents that are outside of the lint trap, you are removing this excess lint. Where are the Dryer Vents? When cleaning dryer vents, you need to make sure you clean the vent located at the rear of your dryer, as well as the route of the piping to the outside of your home. Should I Clean My Vents on My Own? You can easily hire someone, or if you are comfortable and willing to purchase the proper tools, you can easily clean the dryer vents yourself. You can find tools at hardware and home improvement stores, or online made specifically for cleaning dryer vents. When cleaning dryer vents, you will need a circular or horizontal brush that is on the end of a plastic/metal pole or durable line. Ask a professional to help you find the best tool to match your dryers needs and shape. Take this simple step towards fire prevention in your home that will go a long way
