Good to know
How Often Should a Dryer Vent Be Cleaned?
Many experts advise about once a year. Homes with pets, large families or long vent runs may need it sooner. Rigid or smooth metal duct moves air better than thin foil or plastic. A clean vent helps clothes dry faster, lowers energy use and reduces fire risk.
