Why it matters
Home dryer fires where failure to clean was the cause, the leading factor.1
Home fires a year involving clothes dryers or washing machines, on average. That works out to about 44 a day.1
The lint screen catches most of the lint, but not all of it. The rest builds up inside the vent, especially at the bends, where you can’t see it.
Signs your dryer vent needs cleaning
- Clothes take more than one cycle to dry.
- The dryer or laundry room gets very hot.
- You smell something burning when the dryer runs.
- Lint collects around the outside vent, or its flap won’t open.
- You can’t remember the last time the vent was cleaned.

Questions about dryer vents
How long does it take?
Usually about an hour.
My vent goes up through the roof. Can you clean it?
Tell us when you call. We’ll let you know if we can clean it from inside the house.
Should I still clean my lint screen?
Yes, every load. It catches most of the lint, which is why the vent itself builds up more slowly.
