Tips for maintaining dryer vents between cleanings
clean the lint screen
After each use, remove the lint from the dryer's lint screen. This will prevent the lint from building up in the vent system.
Use a flexible brush
Occasionally use a flexible brush to clean the inside of the dryer vent. This will help remove any accumulated lint or debris that may have accumulated.
Check the outside vent
Regularly check the outside vent to ensure that it is not blocked by debris or anything else. A blocked vent can cause the dryer to overheat and increase the risk of a fire.
do not overload the dryer
Overloading the dryer can cause it to work harder and generate more heat, which can increase the risk of a fire.
hire a professional
Regularly hire a professional dryer vent cleaning service to clean the dryer vent thoroughly. This can help ensure that the vent system is working efficiently and safely.
