Q: Can a wet dryer vent grow mold?

• <div><p>Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren&rsquo;t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but&mdash;more importantly&mdash;it also poses a health risk. </p></div>

Q: Can I clean a dryer vent myself?

• <div><p>Yes, basic cleaning can be done with vacuum attachments and vent brushes, but hard-to-reach areas are best left to professionals for thoroughness.</p></div>

Q: How can you extend the longevity of your dryer?

• <div><p>Conducting quick <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-ways-youre-destroying-your-dryer.htm">dryer maintenance can extend its lifespan</a>. Help your dryer stay in mint condition by cleaning the lint trap before and after every cycle. This keeps leftover lint from accumulating in your dryer vent, which is one of the leading causes of household fires, according to the <a href="https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/outreach/clothes_dryers.html">U.S. Fire Administration</a>.</p><p>You can also wipe down the lint screen with dish soap every few months to keep it extra clean. A basic wipedown of the drum every few months and a deep clean of the exhaust vent once a year are beneficial, too. </p></div>

Q: Should dryer vents be straight?

• <div><p>Your dryer vent hose should be as straight as you can possibly get it. A straight vent means less lint buildup in the hose. If the hose has a lot of bends and turns, it&rsquo;s much easier and much more likely for lint to get stuck along the line, meaning you&rsquo;ll have to clean it out a lot more often to decrease the risk of a total blockage or a fire. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t open the flue?

• <div><p>Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn&rsquo;t open (or you&rsquo;re not sure if it is or not), don&rsquo;t start a fire to find out!</p></div>
