Angelo Pagnotti (Owner of Angelo’s Cleaning) shares a quick tip about dryer lint.
Dryer lint is easy to overlook because much of it collects inside the dryer vent run, behind the machine, and near the exterior exhaust. When lint builds up, the dryer has to work harder to move hot, moist air out of the home. That can lead to longer dry times, extra energy use, overheating, and unnecessary wear on the appliance.
Warning signs include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, a dryer that feels unusually hot, a burning or musty smell while drying, lint collecting around the outside vent, or weak airflow from the exhaust. Cleaning the lint screen after every load helps, but it does not remove buildup from the full vent line.
