Dryer vent cleaning in Fruits and ductwork doesn't just reduce our dryer's performance. The combination of heat and accumulated dryer lint and dust can lead to a fire hazard.
1. Disconnect the Dryer
Before dryer vent cleaning, locate
the vent, which should be easily found at the back of the dryer. Also, locate
the dryer exhaust vent at our home's exterior. The first step is to unplug the
dryer. If we have a gas dryer, turn the supply valve off while cleaning. Pull
the dryer away from the wall about a foot to begin cleaning our dryer vent.
2. Vacuum Out the Vent
While wearing safety gloves, remove
lint from the hole at the back of the dryer. Cleaning lint from a dryer duct
requires a vacuum. Use the hose attachment of a vacuum cleaner or shop vac to
clean in and around the hole at the back of the dryer during flood damage in Grand Junction.
Cleaning a dryer duct isn't difficult. Remove lint from the duct by hand and
then vacuum the inside of the duct. Use hose extensions, if available, to
vacuum out as much of the duct as we can.
3. Brush Out the Vent
If our dryer vent is too long to
efficiently use a vacuum to remove the lint, buy a dryer vent kit for an
alternate method. These kits contain flexible brushes with extensions that can
be used comparably to drain snakes and clean the vent's interior walls more
thoroughly.
