Why is it important to clean your dryer vent regularly?Regular dryer vent cleaning is crucial for several reasons. A clogged vent restricts airflow, making your dryer work harder and use more energy, which increases your utility bills. More importantly, lint buildup is highly flammable and is one of the leading causes of dryer-related house fires. Regular cleaning not only enhances the efficiency of your dryer but also significantly reduces the risk of fire hazards.

How often should I clean my dryer vent?It’s recommended to clean your dryer vent at least once a year. However, the frequency may vary depending on the usage. If you have a large family, use your dryer frequently, or have pets whose fur may get trapped in the vent, you might need to clean it more often—every 6 months is a good rule of thumb for heavy usage.

What are the signs that my dryer vent needs cleaning?Common signs that your dryer vent needs cleaning include clothes taking longer to dry, a burning smell while the dryer is running, excessive lint around the dryer or in the lint trap, and the dryer feeling unusually hot to the touch. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to schedule a professional cleaning.
