Dryer vent cleaningMany factors will determine HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD CLEAN YOUR DRYER VENT like, the number of loads of laundry you do, pets that shed, paper, and hair. The configuration of the dryer vent's length and the number of turns is also a factor.

In general, The Lint King recommends annual cleaning including a dryer airway cleaning. Just as we humans get a little backed up, so can your dryer. Worst case you should have the vent cleaned and dryer airway cleaned at least every two years!

The exception would be a case with one bald person, no pets, and a maximum of 2 loads per week. In this scenario a three-to-five year service cycle is acceptable. Remember, repeating a cycle is a sign of a clogged vent pipe.

Every day here at The Lint King we get customers that say "THEY NEVER KNEW THEY NEEDED TO GET THE DRYER VENT DUCTWORK CLEANED." Just because the dryer seems to be working fine is not a good reason to put off cleaning it.

Signs Your Ductwork Is Clogged With Lint

  • Repeating a Drying Cycle and/or using Timed-Dry Repeatedly
  • A clothes dyer's time-to-dry should NEER Exceed 60 minutes.
  • A clothes dryer's drum temperature should NEVER Exceed 150 Degrees!

What Causes a Clogged Dryer Vent?

A clogged dryer vent is caused by the build-up of lint and other debris in the dryer’s vent and dryer airways. There’re many reasons why a clothes dryer vent becomes clogged, and we've listed some of the most common below.

Today’s modern laundry room can be located almost anywhere creating very long and complicated runs that have several bends in the home's dryer ventilation system. This scenario means dryer vents tend to create more back pressure and the dryer’s efficiency is degraded. They will also make it more difficult to clean.

Clogged Dryer Vents Blog Report

Longer dryer vent tubing will cause dryer lint to collect more rapidly than a system with shorter runs and minimal turns. The maximum suggested length for a dryer vent is 25 feet. But, because of the bends, we need to subtract five-feet for 90-degree turns. 45-degree dryer vent turn is preferred because they deduct only 2.5 feet for the max dryer length.
