Think your dryer lint trap is catching everything? Think again! Over time, lint buildup goes beyond the screen, clogging hidden areas and creating a serious fire risk. The lint trap in a dryer is designed to catch lint and clothing fibers during the drying cycle. However, after repeated use, a buildup of oils and residue can clog the lint trap screen, and simply removing the bulk of the lint is no longer completely effective.
Additionally, lint can also be pushed around edges of a lint trap into the dryer cavity, causing a serious fire hazard. The lint screen should be thoroughly cleaned periodically to maintain dryer efficiency and safety.

General FAQs
How often should I clean my dryer lint trap?
Lint trap cleaning should be done after every drying cycle. This removes the most obvious lint buildup and helps prevent clogs.
Is professional cleaning necessary for the lint trap and vent system?
While regular lint trap cleaning is essential, professional cleaning offers a deeper clean. Professionals can remove hidden lint buildup beyond the trap, ensuring optimal airflow and reducing fire risk. Generally, professional cleaning is recommended annually, or more frequently in high-lint producing households.
What happens during a professional cleaning?
A technician will thoroughly clean the lint trap and surrounding area. Specialized tools will be used to clean the entire dryer vent system, removing lint and debris from the vent hose and exhaust outlet. The technician will inspect the vent system for any damage or blockages.
