"Hired Mark to clean dryer vents as we had a clog. He did state that it wasn't installed properly, with parts only held up with installation, and a couple sections come apart. There was a burning smell from my dryer, which never happened before, and he stated I needed to call an appliance repairman for that, but that the vents were fixed and clean from dryer to outside vent. (His website states you will receive before/after pictures, which I wasn't provided.) When my husband came home, he discovered there was good airflow coming from the dryer and no more burning smell (that was from the constant running with no airflow in the vent for the 1 1/2 hrs he was here). We looked in the vent from outside and saw a clogged vent. When I reached out to Mark to ask him to come back out, he canceled the appointment due to car trouble and stated he could come the following Monday. (I'd already been without my dryer for 3 weeks.) I told him about the clogged pipe and he responded by stating it wasn't his fault and that it was clean when he left, implying it was something I did. I hadn't touched the thing since he left. He said it could be because it wasn't installed right to begin with, but it has worked for over 6 years. He said I had to trust him that it was clean when he left. He never even thought to take responsibility for the job done. My husband took down the clogged section, that clearly hadn't been cleaned at all, cleaned it out and now it works perfectly. I sent pictures of the clogged pipe to Mark and he never responded. Not even to say sorry. The thing is, if he would have taken responsibility and not tried to blame the customer or make the number of excuses he did, I would have waited for him to return to finish the job and would have a left a glowing review."

Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts

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’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—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.

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

Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.

In a ventless dryer, lint it collected in a lint filter found inside the door or dryer drum. Vented dryers have this same lint filter, but in a ventless dryer you’ll need to stay on top of cleaning the lint filter after every wash. This is a common best practice, regardless of your dryer vent type.

If you're dealing with an odor in your dryer that transfers onto your clothes and linens, here's what you can do: start by cleaning the lint trap and drum with warm soapy water. Then wipe down the interior using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to eliminate any lingering odors.

To get rid of odors you can try this method: take a cloth soaked in vinegar and put it inside the dryer. Run the dryer on a heat setting for 15 minutes. Afterward, make sure to dry the drum by running it with some towels. This technique helps eliminate any smells and leaves your dryer smelling nice and fresh.

If the odors remain, you may need to sanitize your dryer or call in a professional house cleaner to handle the job.
