How to clean out your dryer vent | Day 26/30 of my Spring Cleaning Spree

[@ReSearcherSusie]

Good job! As the wife of a firefighter I can tell you that dryer vent clogs are the #1 cause of house fires in the United States. 🔥 🏠

[@tiffanyholman4028]

Yeah, that's not true at all. It's cooking, that's number 1. Dryer lint isn't even in the top 5 causes of house fires. Double check with your FF and the NFPA, like I did.

[@sillyperson1610]

@@tiffanyholman4028 it is, but lint in dryers is still *very* dangerous and deadly.

[@MsDenise83]

Yep mine caught fire last month. Thankfully it was the middle of the day and I noticed the smell before it got out hand

[@ixedtea5302]

Happened to me :(

[@elizabethgeorge168]

As someone who lived in Navy barracks, dirty dryer vents are the #1 cause of barracks fires 😂

[@chancemathews7057]

Neighbors are thinking he is vacuuming the lawn again.. 😂 just a playful joke 😅

[@mlane8560]

But if he didn't people would be coming at him for littering his lint outside.

[@paulamugabi7320]

😂😂😂😂

[@michelmonier8489]

Bro cleaning everywhere, showing real professionalism.

[@almosteverythingapple]

The nice thing about my laundry room is that there is and exterior wall so the dryer sits right next to that and the vent goes right through the baseboard and outside next to our hose. So all you gotta do is take the decorative pice off the outside of the siding of the house and disconnect the dryer vent hose. Then you can just stick your arm in the hole and clean it with a Clorox wipe. It’s really nice. I know a few of my neighbors have a similar setup too.

[@suzannebinsley5940]

If I had a leaf blower it would be great for refrigerator coils too. My dryer vent has alot more curves so I clean it at least once a year.

[@FeelTheRainOnYourSkin]

Love these! Anyone else giggle a bit when he vacuumed the lawn tho? 🤭

[@liadanducky]

A leaf blower?! That’s brilliant!

[@stacie1199]

You could just let the lint blow into the yard. Birds and rodents will pick it up for their nests.

[@lloydchristmas1086]

​@@stacie1199😂

[@Patrick_Ross]

@@stacie1199 - and the rodent nests are inside your house!😂

[@nozee77]

​@@stacie1199The chemicals in dryer sheets and detergents will be stuck in the lint, not good for our feathery friends.

[@mikayla7430]

Okay but the matte black dryer and washer!! I love it

[@veronicacalloway2795]

Yesssssssss, I want those please

[@WhoAmI2YouNow]

Wow what a beautiful dryer!

[@parler8698]

Wow. Things ya never think about.

[@ChristopherBurtraw]

I pull the back panel off of the dryer and hit it with a powerful leaf blower and vacuum, theres a ton of lint that cant be cleaned internally. I do it once per year along with the vent cleaning as shown here.

[@mollypitcher9380]

You’re a professional- cleaning the area so well.

[@alexandriav3956]

Once again, THANK YOU!! I was literally going to look up a video on how to do this today and bam! Here you are on my feed.

[@gale212]

Good idea with the leaf blower

[@psnlh1]

I busted out laughing when he vacuumed the grass/ground.

[@CleanThatUp]

every lawn needs a good vacuuming

[@Coffeeismyhappyplace]

That’s my biggest concern about getting this done on Friday. The mess

[@N0AHVEGA]

Cool, I didn’t know there were kits to clean the dryer vents yourself ❤

[@John-yo9jz]

Are you rich?😂

[@Somewhereintime22]

You have some of the most specialized tools and equipment I’ve ever seen

[@Coffeeismyhappyplace]

NOW THAT WAS A PERFECT VIDEO. MY OCD THANKS YOU

[@marilyncausey9348]

The man vacuumed the yard 👍

[@withthewilliams]

New subscriber here ! Really enjoying your content. Thanks for sharing with us ❤

[@tombournique]

I've got one of those brushes that you attached to a drill. It works a lot better than the leaf blower andr getsrid of any lint that is stuck onto the vent line. However I did do the leaf blower trick when I first bought my house.. I made the mistake of sticking the leaf blower into the outside opening and blowing it to the inside after isconnected the dryer. It looked like it was snowing inside of my garage.

[@kathiparshall8094]

Holy moly that is brilliant .

[@ActPono]

Man I wish I had half your cleaning ambition

[@BrittanyLonardo6516]

This a great task to do every season (try to make it a habit to do every 3months/4 times a year ) dryer fires are very real and actually more common than you think (also always keep a same fire extinguisher in the laundry area (9 times out of 10 washer machine fire will be an electrical fire remember DO NOT USE WATER TO PUT A ELECTRICAL FIRE OUT...hope you never have to use it ...but it's better to be safe than sorry)

[@MextizaCalifa]

Thank god new dryers dont need vent 😊😊😊

[@docbradleydc]

I vacuum my entire lawn for spring cleaning. Wife calls me a psycho. WHO'S THE PSYCHO NOW?!

[@wisherleelee7138]

You’re a good man he clean his dry a lot keep on doing that

[@BrittneyTheVlogger]

This is a great DIY

[@Anton_Sy]

People don't understand how it works and are still amazed. Cleaning the filter and lightly wiping with a brush does not help with blockages. The actions in the video show ideal conditions.

[@mastiffpeople4868]

dang...vacuuming the grass...O.G.

[@kencolvin7553]

Never put your drill in reverse, the brush handles will unscrew, and you will lose the brush in the vent. Ask me, I know.

[@iriswilson1978]

Sooooo neat! Thanks for sharing

[@vanessabrown2802]

This is good information!

[@RVSMX]

Lol vacuuming the lawn

[@coldfact.]

Those are some fab washer/dryer machines. Love it!

[@dregenius]

No, they're not. They're literally designed to con people into thinking they're "new and sleek" but Whirlpool used a 63 year old design of dryer that's the absolute flimsiest thing on the market, and the washer scored a 53 on Consumer Reports, particularly for "poor cleaning performance" and "very poor spin speed"... that washer will end up costing you about $4,000 over 15 years (although CR also points out that whirlpool washers only last about 2.5 years before major failure/service, compared to LG's 14 years) in extra electricity because of how slow it spins. Whirlpool needs to be put out of business, because the free market has become such a quivering pile of trend-seeking drones that consumers don'e even care if their washers score a FAILING GRADE at the only function they expect them to perform?!?!?

[@Patrick_Ross]

@@dregenius - except that it’s a Maytag dryer, not a Whirlpool.😂

[@thecasualguy]

I work for a dryer duct company and i thought about this DIY a few times. (For home sake only) his dryer to the outside vent must not be too far so this DIY is pretty cool and approval, I’ll probably try it with a blowdryer instead cuz i aint got a leaf blower hahaha

[@chris14388]

I think my vent has a 90 somewhere as I couldn't get the rods through. In this case would you try pneumatic tools? Jetter air nozzle or something.

[@teemmm538]

That just awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍

[@abbylynn8872]

Mag8cally our apt building dryers are getting this special treatment on Monday. They must have seen me washing and scrubbing all the lint catchers and trying to pull out lint from the dryers. Two of the lint catchers wouldn't fit back in properly...

[@2bit156]

You don’t have to vacuum that up. Birds use the lint for their nests :)

[@oliviac295]

A lot of clothes are made from polyester and synthetic materials- a lot of lint is essentially plastic waste

[@2bit156]

@@oliviac295 very good point!

[@TheDementedBabe]

The synthetic fragrances as well are not good for ppl don't see that they would be much better for birds

Ummm we are adults here no children and take care of our stuff hence i still have my iphone6 used daily in great condition… the point is no more Maytag… =0(

vacuuming the lint on the ground outside..I am dead

[@StaavAutumn]

You can skip the blower and just use the dryer on the heatless setting while working the brush on the other side

[@valeciawatson9712]

What kind of washer dryer set is that? It’s really nice.

Can you tell me where I can find your dryer event? Exit cover that was the coolest cover i've ever seen

[@mplscarsales6652]

If not cleaned and completely clogged will it make the breaker shut off ? Had my power go out several times

How often do you do this? Your vent appeared clean compared to others on KZbin.

Can you just stick the vacuum hose in the dryer vent and turn it on at the same time the leaf blower is blowing?

[@greghillmusic]

I think my dryer vent goes out my roof

[@amberhunter4590]

I'm sorry but can you imagine what your neighbors or passer by think when they saw you vacuuming the grass 😂😂😂😂 its like that meme in real life (the meme a person vacuuming the lawn trying to be nosey when police at neighbors )

[@joeyree22]

What can I use to blow out if I don’t have a leaf blower?

[@Sam12259]

How often should you do this?

I just want to slide 🛝 all over that white plastic(I’m guessing) it looks soooooo soft!

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

Never seen anyone vacuum their lawn before…

[@skyaquariums9895]

As a professional dryer vent cleaner don’t ever agitate dust in the lint trap. That’s going to all fall down and fall into the heating element and literally cause a fire. Call a professional or just simply take the lint trap out. It’s literally just 8 screws.

[@mcleodautomation]

Oh no, are your gloves from Ryobi too?

[@lindaplank5972]

What is the plastic tubing you are putting down in the dryer vent

[@danichan913]

I don't have the round accordion one. Mine is a metal rectangle, how would you clean that out?

[@glizzygang1956]

I clean dryers for a job pull your dryer out your gonna have to disconnect it from both the wall and dryer. It should come apart in the middle and you can clean it out. Or if you want call our company (New England duct cleaning) and we’ll come clean it for ya😉

[@andrewwyatt7184]

Did you just vacuum grass?

[@2KMMC2]

Vacuuming the ground stop .. stop … this was the video that showed me things are going to far!

[@alexoviksdemetriosadti9647]

where you buy those long brushes from??

[@madelineking9104]

How often clean dryer vent?

[@leszley_-2480]

Every 6 months or so 😊

[@abbylynn8872]

If you are are heavy user then quarterly, otherwise every 6 months. Super light user.... once a year. I only use the dryer 3 to 4 times a month.

[@geekchick4859]

What the eff is that vent thing??? Ours has a lint filter and the heat just blows around the laundry. So you open windows and turn on and exhaust fan.

[@sirifimay]

I got a neighbor that vacuums the grass too. I don't think he has a job though

[@halsiediaz4804]

My dryer is downstairs, however, vent goes upstairs. I’m guessing I’d need to take it all apart just to clean it? Lol. Vent pipes? I don’t know what to call them. Lol, 😂

[@CleanThatUp]

It could be vented out the roof. For those I usually suggest calling a professional to help clean out. They can be a bit tricky.

[@michellekelly5430]

​@@CleanThatUpWhat about a vent that is about 8ft up the exterior wall? A professional in our area wanted $400 to clean ours. Sooo, diy would be fantastic

[@Samsungsmartfridge19]

How do I look for the vent thing outside

[@URForgiven]

Why are y’all wasting our stockings?😅😂

[@Calakapepe]

why bother collecting the dust in the stockings?

[@Preppykid-w8c]

As cleaning i like to vacuum

[@sjw08]

Hard pipe vent instead of flexi pipe is better flexi will trap more lint while hard pipe will not and will do a better job

[@Listen2me400]

How often?

[@c0cooned]

My vent goes to the roof. How would you clean that?

[@RaccoonNation]

I’d suggest making friends with a local raccoon so he can climb up there and use his little hands to clean it.. plus you can pay raccoons in peanuts 🥹
