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’s much easier and much more likely for lint to get stuck along the line, meaning you’ll have to clean it out a lot more often to decrease the risk of a total blockage or a fire. </p></div>

How do I know if I need my dryer vent cleaned?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can look out for that indicate it’s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/10-signs-you-need-dryer-vent-cleaning.htm">time to clean your dryer vent</a>, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>It has been a year or more since the last professional cleaning.</p></li><li><p>Your clothes are taking longer to dry than usual.</p></li><li><p>Your clothes smell musty or burnt when they come out of the dryer.</p></li><li><p>You see lint building up around the outside dryer vent cap.</p></li><li><p>Your laundry room is unusually hot.</p></li><li><p>Your dryer is unusually hot to the touch during operation.</p></li><li><p>You notice a kink in or damage to the vent.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can you put boric acid in vents?

• <div><p>You should not put <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/boric-acid-safe-use-pest-control.htm">boric acid</a> into your home’s air vents. While sprinkling boric acid in roach-prone areas is an effective way to get rid of them, it’s not safe to introduce those chemicals into your home’s air system. Instead, put boric acid or diatomaceous earth in a spot that roaches may walk through, infesting them and the rest of the infestation.</p></div>
