Because the air movement created by the dryer motor helps propel the loosened lint toward the opening. Dryer ducts certainly CAN be cleaned without the dryer running, it just helps to have it on. Consider it like riding a bicycle in the same direction as a strong wind.

This is great guys. What kind of compressor are you using and what kind of psi are you getting from it.

Just have to make sure you have a shop vac because it will be hard to clean up the miss if you don't.

You're right... they happen to 15,000 homes in the United States every year!

@MELDtoys At least every 4 years... more often depending on how much laundry is done and how long the dryer duct is. The longer it is, the more often it needs to be cleaned.

Now why does the dryer need to be on?

I'm lucky my duct run is about 1 foot. Duct fires happen from time to time.. don't let it happen to you.

@ChimneyMann65 This video was shot with the goal of showing how much debris comes out. You can certainly hook up the vacuum attachment when doing jobs.

The "mess" was so you could see all the lint coming out.

I googled this and one pro says every four years the whole ductline should be reamed!
