I've heard that dryer vents need regular cleaning, but I'm not sure how often to do it. How often do you clean yours, and what’s the best way to do it?

Hey there! 🙋♂️ I clean mine every 6 months to keep things running smoothly and avoid any fire hazards, but if you’ve got a big fam or use your dryer a lot, you might wanna check it every 3 months. Just pop it open, vacuum out the lint, and you're good to go! 🚿🚫

I clean mine every 6-12 months to keep things running smoothly and avoid any fire hazards 🚒, but if you notice longer drying times or a lot of lint buildup, definitely do it sooner 🔧.

Hey! I clean my dryer vent about once a year. It really depends on how often you use your dryer and how long the vent is. If you notice your clothes taking longer to dry, it might be time.

It's recommended to clean dryer vents at least once a year to prevent lint buildup, reduce fire risks, and maintain dryer efficiency—using a vent cleaning brush or hiring a professional service are effective methods to keep things running smoothly! 🔥👕

I find that cleaning the dryer vent annually is sufficient for most households, I think, though it's crucial to keep an eye on it for safety reasons. 🔍✅
