homeowner are aware that they need to clear the lint trap after every dryer cycle. However, a portion of the lint slips through, ending up within the confines of the dryer vent. Some dryer ducts need cleaning even more frequently due to their structure or amount of use. Over time, the dryer vent becomes clogged, restricting airflow and posing a fire threats.

The leading source of residential fires is clothes dryers, primarily due to accumulated lint in the dryer ductwork and failure to maintain the cleanliness of the air passages and ducts. When addressing such security and protection risks, it’s crucial not to entrust vent cleaning tasks to just anyone.

Clogged dryer ducts can force the dryer to take up to three times longer or more to dry clothes. Cleaning can significantly minimise utility bills and prevent future dryer repairs. Lint and dust not only collect on the lint trap but also within the dryer chassis, around the dryer, and in the ducts that carry the lint from the dryer to the outside.

The main features are these:

• Clothes are still moist after a typical drying cycle.
  
  

• Clothes are excessively hot after drying.
  
  

• The dryer surface feels overly warm.
  
  

• You might hear repeated clicking noises as the dryer control continuously switches the heat on and off to adjust for the issue.
  
  

• Large amounts of lint are found in the lint trap in a single cycle.
  
  

• Your dryer vent has never undergone cleaning.
