Cleaning your dryer vent

A few weeks ago i noticed my dryer was getting hot but not dryer my clothes, took about 6 cycles for a few things.

I had whirlpool here and they couldnt find anything wrong with it.
Turns out there is a clog in the dryer vent.
This is not something that can be cleaned easily.

Now i know next time the dryer is working 100% its probably a cloged vent!
We had someone come in and unclog the vent for us

the joys of homeownership! lol

Was it the vent hose, or inside the dryer unit? If it's the exhaust hose, just get a dryer vent brush. Only costs a few dollars, and takes 5 minutes. I've cleaned out our vent a few times with something similar.

Oh, OK, that's different. We have our dryer in the basement, and it vents out the wall, so the vent hose is only about 4 feet, and I can see the entire hose.
