Why it’s important to clean your dryer vent:

Regularly cleaning your dryer vent is essential for home safety and efficiency. Over time, lint and debris build up inside the vent, which can cause several problems:

1. Fire prevention: Lint is highly flammable, and buildup in the vent increases the risk of fire.

2. Improved dryer efficiency: A clean vent allows hot air to circulate properly, reducing drying time and energy consumption.

3. Prolongs the life of your dryer: The machine works less hard, preventing damage to the motor and other parts.

4. Prevents mold and odors: Moisture trapped in a clogged vent can lead to mold and unpleasant smells in your clothes and home.

For these reasons, it is recommended to clean your dryer vent at least once a year, or more often if the dryer is used frequently.
