Wait...don't laugh...what's the lint trap? I clean the little lint filter after every dry but what else am I supposed to be doing?



ok NOW im confused. theres a screen that i pull out clean that and then i clean the area that this screen rests in.. THERES MORE?

( i grew up in a foreign house where we didnt have dishwashers/dryer/microwave) this is fairly new to me.



You are in a coop correct??? You do not vent directly outside....so this kinda doesn't even apply to you because the dryers in the building tie into a few of the same vents.

Re: Do you clean out your dryer vent?

DH cleans it out every few months to clear the lint out. For our dryer, he can unscrew the tube from the back of the machine and the wall leading to the outside to vacuum both ends. It's a bit cumbersome, but he gets it done and screws everything back together and moves the dryer back up against the wall.

Growing up we had a small dryer fire because of this. I'm glad I don't have to worry about this now because I have a condensation dryer. I just empty the water and clean out the lint trap.

My hubby vacuums it out every so often. We have a flexible hose attachment made just for that.
