"Dillon was a great guy and worked fast and efficient. My house is 50 plus years old and the duct work had never been cleaned. Post the work, the house even smelled better. I am in the middle of a complete remodel and living in the house. I had all 11 vent grilles removed -(saved Dillon a pile of time not having to remove and re-install) and I would have thought a discount would have been in order."

"Due to weather , had to do all work from inside. I was told there would be no dust/soot to worry about. He brought one small drop cloth that would not have even covered the rug he was walking across to the fireplace. However, I had covered my leather sofa and some of the area rug in front of fireplace. After he left, I found a light dusting of sooty residue on a few nearby surfaces. Not sure if the vacuum was working properly but I would recommend covering all furniture or rugs in immediate area."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink. 

Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.

Regularly check and clean the lint screen, inspect vent connections, and ensure proper airflow to maintain clear vents and reduce blockages or buildup.

Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent is not recommended. While it might seem like a quick solution, it can push lint and debris further into the vent, creating a blockage, making the problem worse, and posing a fire hazard. The force from the blower could also damage the vent itself. For a safe and effective cleaning, it is better to use specialized tools, such as a dryer vent cleaning kit with a rotating brush head that scrubs the lint from the ductwork. Alternatively, hiring a professional will ensure the vent is cleaned thoroughly and safely.

Exhaust systems should be inspected annually to prevent efficiency loss and address any arising mechanical issues.

There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it’s time to clean your dryer vent, including the following:

  • It has been a year or more since the last professional cleaning.

  • Your clothes are taking longer to dry than usual.

  • Your clothes smell musty or burnt when they come out of the dryer.

  • You see lint building up around the outside dryer vent cap.

  • Your laundry room is unusually hot.

  • Your dryer is unusually hot to the touch during operation.

  • You notice a kink in or damage to the vent.
