Why Dryer Vent Cleaning Is Important
Your dryer vent plays a crucial role in your home's safety and the efficiency of your dryer. Over time, lint, debris, and other materials can accumulate in your dryer vent, creating a potential fire hazard and reducing your dryer's efficiency.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, resulting in thousands of home fires each year. Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential for preventing these dangerous situations and ensuring your dryer operates efficiently.

When to Schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning
The frequency of dryer vent cleaning depends on several factors, including how often you use your dryer, the length of your vent, and the types of laundry you dry. However, most experts recommend having your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year.
You should consider scheduling a dryer vent cleaning sooner if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Clothes take longer than usual to dry
- The dryer or laundry room feels unusually hot during operation
- The outside dryer vent cover doesn't open properly when the dryer is running
- You notice a burning smell when using the dryer
- It's been more than a year since your last dryer vent cleaning
- Lint is visible around the dryer or outside vent
- Your dryer automatically shuts off before the cycle is complete
