Dryer Vent Cleaning

The ventilation within your home, specifically your dryer’s vent is just as
important to monitor and service, as your furnace filters. Without proper
ventilation, the life expectancy of your dryer can be drastically cut short.
Ensuring the vent line remains clear is important for the health of your dryer,
but also for the safety of your home. Dryer lint is highly combustible and is
one of the leading causes of house fires.


Roughly 27% of house fires are caused by an accumulation of dryer lint. Lint
is the accumulation of fine textile fibers, various paper fibers, and other
fibers, and is highly combustible. Whether taking care of this clean out
yourself or by us here at Liberty Home Services, it is important to clean out
your dryer vents thoroughly at least once every 12 months.


Most people find cleaning the vents intimidating; however, it is more so time-
consuming than it is difficult. Below I will walk you through how to clean out
your dryer very line and what tools you need.


Tools Needed
– Nut driver or Screwdriver
– Vacuum
– Dryer vent cleaning brush
– Drill


Step #1
– Pull the dryer away from the wall and use the nut driver/screwdriver to
loosen the vent hose connected to the dryer.
– Remove the vent hose from the dryer.
Step #2
– Step outside and remove the vent exhaust cover.
Step #3
– Take the dryer vent cleaning brush and attach it to your drill.
– Hook your vacuum up at the bottom of the vent where it connects to
the dryer.
Step #4
– Turn the vacuum on, then go back outside and run the vent brush
down the dryer vent toward the bottom where the vacuum is.
Step #5
– Vacuum any residual dryer lint and reconnect the hose vent to the
dryer.


Congratulations! You just cleaned your dryer vent and can now sleep easily
knowing your dryer is fully functioning.
