Regular Maintenance

Dryer Vent & Exhaust - Clean the pipe every 3 to 6 months. Snake a round brush with long, flexible piping (about $20 at hardware stores) into the tube to pull out lint clinging to the sides. If you can’t get all the way through from one end, you may need to pull sections of the pipe apart–or hire a professional duct cleaner. Always vent your dryer to an open outdoor area otherwise the moisture will end up causing wood rot, mold, mildew, etc.
