Lint and debris removed during a professional dryer vent cleaning

Every load

Two 30-second habits prevent most problems.

  • Empty the lint trap before every load
  • Check the exterior vent flap once a week

Monthly

Pull the dryer out and wipe behind it. Confirm the flexible transition is intact and not crushed.

Annually

Book a professional cleaning every 12 months. Inspect the exterior cap for nests or buildup, and replace the rigid transition if it shows kinks or compression.
