Q: How is a dryer vent professionally cleaned?

• <div><p>Professionals use specialized tools, such as high-powered vacuums and brushes, to clear lint and debris from the vent system, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.</p></div>

Q: Can you dehumidify a house too much?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to remove too much humidity from the air, but it&rsquo;s very unlikely. Dehumidifiers have moisture sensors and settings to control how they function, so they can pause when the air inside your home reaches a certain humidity level. This means that most modern dehumidifiers won&rsquo;t dry out the air to the point where it&rsquo;s uncomfortable. But older, more basic dehumidifiers that are left on too long could potentially dry out the air so much that your skin, hair, and sinuses start to feel dry.</p></div>

Q: How long can a dryer vent be?

• <div><p>The length of an allowable dryer vent varies based on the local building codes and regulations. Typically, the maximum range is 25 to 35 feet. However, if the vent must have any 90-degree turns, you may see a reduction of five feet from the maximum. Some municipalities may have no specific maximum allowable length as part of the code. Typically, installers will run the vent over the shortest possible distance for safety. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-dryer-vent-cleaning-cost.htm">dryer vent cleaning cost</a> is less with a shorter vent length as well. </p></div>

Q: How often should I have my dryer vent cleaned?

• <div><p>You should have your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-common-dryer-vent-cleaning-questions.htm">dryer vent cleaned</a> by a professional at least <b>once per year</b>. Over time, lint and other debris from your laundry get caught throughout the vent, causing a few different issues. A less severe problem caused by a clogged dryer vent is extended drying time for your clothes, which increases energy costs. More importantly, lint in a clogged dryer vent can easily catch fire, putting your household members and your home at significant risk. Keep in mind that decades-old dryer vent systems may need increased cleaning, so plan to complete this task twice per year.</p></div>

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Professionals use specialized tools, such as high-powered vacuums and brushes, to clear lint and debris from the vent system, ensuring its safe and efficient operation.

Taking good care of your dryer will help ensure its longevity and keep your clothes nice and dry. Some dryer maintenance tips include:

Clearing the lint screen after every use
Deep cleaning the lint screen with detergent every three months
Don’t overload your dryer
Cleaning the dryer vent at least once a year
Cleaning the dryer drum twice a year with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol

It’s possible to remove too much humidity from the air, but it’s very unlikely. Dehumidifiers have moisture sensors and settings to control how they function, so they can pause when the air inside your home reaches a certain humidity level. This means that most modern dehumidifiers won’t dry out the air to the point where it’s uncomfortable. But older, more basic dehumidifiers that are left on too long could potentially dry out the air so much that your skin, hair, and sinuses start to feel dry.
