Dryer Vent Cleaning?

Our new dryer gets plenty hot, but the clothes just refuse to dry.

So I've come to the conclusion that our dryer vent must be filthy or completely clogged and the moisture has nowhere to go. Any recs for cleaning out? I'd like to DIY if that's not crazy. I'm heading to home depot later to see what they have, but thought I'd see if yall have tried something that you know works.

 

Thanks!

Re: Dryer Vent Cleaning?

  • So, this was so funny, but last summer we pulled the dryer away, unhooked the vent and took our shop vac/blower to the vent. I stood outside while DH did this and poof, all this lint and stuff shot out of our vent outside. That seemed to work fine, but I think they have tools for this as well at Home Depot or Lowes.
  • we had the same problem and it turned out that the tube behind the dryer was bent weird so there was a bunch of stuff clogged right by the dryer, easy fix!

     i have heard there is a product you can get relatively cheap at Home Depot to clean those bad boys out

  • what pp said.  Pull the dryer out and suck it up with the shop vac.
