🔹 Dryer Vent Cleaning Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Dryer vent cleaning is essential for fire prevention, energy efficiency, and dryer performance. Lint buildup inside the dryer vent is highly flammable and is one of the leading causes of residential fires. Regular cleaning helps your dryer operate safely and efficiently.
Most homes should have their dryer vents cleaned at least once a year. Homes with long vent runs, frequent dryer use, pets, or multi-story exhaust systems may need cleaning every 6–9 months.
Common warning signs include:
- Clothes taking longer to dry.
- Dryer feeling hot to the touch.
- Burning or musty smells.
- Lint visible around the dryer or vent exit.
- Dryer shutting off before clothes are dry.
If you notice any of these, your vent likely needs immediate cleaning
