Dryer vent maintenance is one of the most overlooked home safety tasks—but it shouldn’t be! A clogged dryer vent increases fire risks, lowers efficiency, and raises energy bills. But how often should you clean your dryer vent? The answer depends on usage, household size, and environmental factors.
1. General Dryer Vent Cleaning Guidelines
🗓 Recommended Frequency:
- Every 6–12 months for most households
- Every 3–6 months if you have pets, large families, or do frequent laundry
According to the NFPA, failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of home dryer fires.
2. Warning Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
❌ Clothes take longer than one cycle to dry
❌ The dryer feels hot to the touch
❌ A burning smell when running the dryer
❌ Excessive lint buildup around the dryer door
If you notice any of these signs, schedule a dryer vent cleaning immediately!
3. The Benefits of Regular Dryer Vent Cleaning
✅ Fire Prevention: Lint is highly flammable, and regular cleaning eliminates fire hazards.
✅ Lower Energy Bills: A clean vent lets your dryer run efficiently, reducing energy costs.
✅ Longer Appliance Life: Less strain on your dryer means fewer repairs & a longer lifespan.
