Why Clean Your Dryer Vent?
It is a common misconception that the dryer’s lint trap and vent are the same thing. In reality, these are two different parts of the dryer that serve different purposes. The lint trap is the mesh grid, usually accessed from the front of the dryer. When emptied regularly, the lint trap catches a good portion of lint from each laundry load. The dryer vent, on the other hand, is located on the back of the dryer. It is responsible for releasing the hot air from the dryer to the outside of your home. Any lint that is not caught in the lint trap is often pulled into the vent, clogging up your dryer vent and preventing it from working correctly. Even if you routinely empty your lint trap, lint and debris particles will continue to build up within the vent.

When To Clean Your Dryer Vent?
If you use your dryer regularly, the U.S. Fire Administration recommends that you clean your vents once every six months. If you’ve never had a cleaning, or if it has been over a year, it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning service. Additionally, if you rent, you should ask the landlords or homeowner if they have a record of cleaning. Outside of regular maintenance, the frequency of cleaning can increase depending on how often you use the dryer, as well as if you are experiencing any signs of significant lint build-up. Large build-ups of lint can cause several problems with your dryer outside of increased fire risk, including longer dryer times, mustysmelling clothing, burning smells, and more. Unpleasant as they might be, these symptoms serve as signs, telling you when to clean your dryer vent outside of your regular schedule. .
