If you fail to clean your dryer machine for too long, lint will build up in your dryer duct. This buildup may cause inefficiency, reduce performance, and even shorten the lifespan of your machine. Ideally, you need to perform a dryer duct cleaning once every year.
There are a couple of ways that you can clean your dryer duct. Hire a pro to do it, or do it yourself. If you decide to do it yourself, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.
Also, it might be necessary to clean your dryer duct as soon as possible if you encounter problems such as:
To make sure your duct is cleaned correctly, you can enlist professional help for the job. However, dryer duct cleaning is not very difficult to do yourself. You will need a few supplies and some time, but the job can be completed without much trouble.
Before DIY, make sure you have a special dryer duct brush with an automated drill. Without this kit, cleaning your dryer duct by yourself will not be effective. If you can’t find the brush kit, you can opt for a scrub brush with a long and flexible handle. It will require more effort to clean, but it is the only possible alternative.
Another thing that you will need is a vacuum cleaner with a long and narrow hose. You might also need a screwdriver if your ductwork connections are screwed in.
Now that you have your equipment ready, here is how to perform the dryer duct cleaning:
It is highly advisable not to perform your dryer duct cleaning by yourself unless you are sure you have the skills for it. Improper execution might end up ruining your duct without even cleaning it. If you decide to use professional help, choose someone with a good reputation and a proper license.
