PSA.... Clean your dryer vents

Post by Next » Sat Aug 05, 2023 12:36 pm

I was woke up today by my daughter who couldn't get garage door open. GFI was triggered in the garage and happy she found it since our deep freeze was plugged in to it. Decided to clean up a bit and in the process found a dryer vent cleaning kit I had bought months ago. Watched YouTube on how to use it and it was super simple. I started with the outside and got a bunch of lint, but couldn't make a turn. Went inside and was able to use three of the poles the give you and got a bunch more lint. I then when outside and had the wife turn on the dryer and WOW a Cloud of lint came out. I couldn't get my phone turned on fast enough so I didn't get the best shot. After 5 years this was my first clean out. Ton of lint....

Very similar to mine it worked great. Just make sure your dryer vent is all metal and not the flex tube.
