The more you use your dryer, the more lint is going to build up inside the dryer vent ductwork. Lint production occurs when water is being removed from laundry during the drying cycle. An average load of laundry holds approximately one and a half gallons of water, leading to a decent amount of lint produced from a normal-sized load. Dryer vents should be cleaned every year according to the U.S. Fire Administration.
Dryer vent cleanings create efficient exhaust for the dryer, which helps to decrease drying time and prevents parts in the dryer from burning out or having to be replaced. However, the most important reason for maintaining your dryer vent is to reduce the risk of fire.
