Can you use a leaf blower to clean a dryer vent?

• <div><p>Using a leaf blower to clean your dryer vent isn't a good idea. Theoretically, the leaf blower should push the lint and debris toward the exterior vent opening, helping it exit. That's usually not what happens, though. </p><p>Instead, the lint can get stuck further in the vent, creating a blockage and making the problem worse. You need a scrubbing tool, such as the rotating brush head on a dryer cleaning kit, to push the lint out of the ductwork.</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: How do I locate where the smell is coming from?

• <div><p>While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.</p></div>

Q: Is condensation in my dryer dangerous?

• <div><p>Condensation in your dryer can create a dangerous situation. It can cause lint to clog up the venting components of the system. If you have a gas-powered dryer, excessive lint buildup can create the potential for carbon dioxide buildup within your home. Clogged vent systems can also be a severe fire hazard. </p></div>

Q: Do services include duct and exhaust cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals clean ducts and exhaust fans to ensure complete system efficiency and compliance with safety codes.</p></div>
