Your dryer works hard, but it’s easy to forget about the vent that keeps it running efficiently. Here’s why and how to keep it clean:
đź”§ Why It Matters
Clogged vents reduce airflow, making your dryer overheat, increase drying times, and even pose a fire hazard. Regular cleaning is essential for safety and efficiency.
đź§Ľ How to Clean Your Dryer Vent
- Frequency: Clean your dryer vent at least once a year or more often if you do heavy laundry loads. Check it quarterly if you have a large family or if your dryer is used frequently.
- Unplug your dryer and pull it away from the wall.
- Disconnect the vent hose from the back.
- Use a vent cleaning brush or vacuum to remove lint buildup inside the duct.
- Don’t forget to clean the exterior vent cover outside your home.
đź’ˇ Pro Tip
If your clothes take longer to dry, it could be a sign that your vent is clogged.
