Benefits of Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning
Regular air duct and dryer vent cleaning offers many benefits, including the following:
- Improved safety: Regular duct and dryer vent cleaning reduces the risk of fires, carbon monoxide backup, and other potential health risks. It also discourages wildlife from entering your vent. Birds love building nests in your dryer vent.
- Increased savings: By keeping your dryer vents clean, you can reduce energy consumption and monthly utility bills, as well as the need for additional maintenance.
- Extended lifespan: Consistent dryer vent maintenance ensures your dryer lasts longer by preventing break-downs or other damage.
- Increased efficiency: Regular dryer ventilation cleaning will improve your dryer's performance, resulting in shorter drying times. Clothes are also less likely to come out damp or extremely hot.
- Warrant compliance: For an appliance to be covered by warranty or insurance, it must follow the recommended care instructions, which include regular vent and dryer cleaning.

FAQ About Dryer Vent Cleaning
How Often Should A Dryer Vent Be Cleaned?
A dryer vent should be cleaned once every three to twelve months, depending on how often you use your dryer. Larger households that do at least one or two loads of laundry each day should schedule periodic inspections to determine the frequency of dryer vent cleanings. If you do laundry less often, an annual dryer vent cleaning is likely sufficient.
Is Dryer Vent Cleaning Worth It?
Yes, dryer vent cleaning service is worth it. Even when you clean your lint trap regularly, not all the lint from your laundry is removed. In fact, only about 25 percent of the lint from your clothes is collected by the lint trap you slide out of the front of your dryer.
That means the rest is building up in the dryer vent system, restricting airflow and causing your dryer to work harder. As a result, you may start paying more on monthly energy bills and be at risk of a fire. Know how often to clean your dryer vent, and stick to a maintenance plan!
Can I Clean My Dryer Vent by Myself?
While you can do a basic cleaning of a dryer vent, service professionals have special equipment to clean dryer vents more efficiently and safely. If you’re unsure how to clean a dryer vent, it’s always best to call the professionals at Mr. Appliance.
What Do Professionals Use To Clean Dryer Vents?
Professionals use high-powered vacuum cleaners, special dryer vent brushes, and forced air to thoroughly clean dryer vents. This can be a messy and challenging task, based on the location of your exterior vent — which may be located on the second story. A professional will ensure both the inside and outside parts of your vent system are properly cleaned and in proper working order.
