How To Clean Your Dryer Vent Duct - Step By Step - It's Super Simple!

Years ago we had a fire that started in the dryer. No one got injured we lost the house. So since then I never neglect cleaning the dryer vents. Such an important task everyone should do. Great video 👍🏾

This is, hands down, the best YouTube instructional video that I've ever seen. It's clear, concise, well filmed and edited, with no music pulsing during the instruction part to distract. You have a calm, clear voice, too, that makes listening a pleasure. Lastly, I love how you address things that could happen, why it matters, and how to avoid those things, and you give helpful tips (ie black electrical tape), too! Wonderful video. Thank you!

This was so helpful! I’m a single woman who proudly owns her own home, but we lost my stepdad to cancer a couple of years ago, and he was the guy who helped me fix everything. There are tons of people like me, and what you all do - filling in the gaps for those of us who don’t have someone to help us out with this stuff, or the funds to pay someone else - is not only a wonderful public service, but a great gift of kindness. That doesn’t even begin to cover how clear, simple, and unintimidating your instructions were - thank you so very much! I’ll be picking up a dryer clean out kit tomorrow!

I'm a widow & I want to say "THANK YOU" for making this video & explaining every little detail. Things like this my husband use to do is now solely on me. I appreciate you!

This guys presentation on DIY makes me feel like I can accomplish things in this world. Such a nice guy.

I never thought I'd see the day that I would say this 🤣 but..This has to be the most informative video on cleaning dryer vents that I've ever seen

This is the most polite and detailed video that I think I've ever seen! Thank you for time to do all of this. 👍

Went out today, bought the suggested kit at Lowe's with an extra set of extender rods. The vent line is 20 feet long in our home. Bottom line, this video made the whole job really easy. I can't imagine who would've even considered anything other than a thumbs up. Thanks again! Well done!

This is SO cool! One thing that makes it special is this gentleman's polite, friendly and courteous demeanor, and also he speaks slowly and clearly. Very excellent delivery. The Best! I'm a fan!

Your video potentially saved us from a house fire. I bought the product you mentioned in the video together with 12 foot extensions. I ended up using all 8 rods to clean the vent; a full 24 feet. My wash room is in the center of the house and the vent goes straight up to nearly top of my roof. There were 2 x 5 gallon buckets full of lint when I finished. The product was very easy to use. One tip is to roll the electrical tape in a fashion so that it does not come unraveled. Especially if you create a flap as in the video. You can test this by putting your glove over the tape and rotating the drill slowly. If it stays flat, you have it in the correct rotation. Another tip is to have a service technician clean inside the dryer itself. This involves removing the back panel. There was another 5-gallon bucket full of link inside the dryer itself. Inside we found burnt lint. So don’t hesitate to clean your dryer vent and check your dryer yearly. Thank you for this video.

Goodness. I thought I was cleaning my dryer hose, just by cleaning from the dryer through the short hose to the wall and a little more. Had NO idea I needed to clean all the way to the outside!!!!! Need to tell my daughter. Thanks

My dryer is drying clothes faster. I learned this important dryer vent cleaning technique from your video. I have told some friends, and coworkers about me helping neighbors clean dryer vents with rods and brushes connected to a drill. Some comment,”that’s cool.” I heard a neighbor’s daughter say,”do you clean dryer vents all the time?” Yes to prevent dryer fires. I like the Gardus LintEater Pro dryer vent cleaning system kit featured in the video. I put electrical tape on each rod to keep the heads of rods together during the drill powered dryer vent cleaning process. The kit is worth it to prevent dryer fires.

Just did my vent this afternoon after watching this very clear and helpful video. Thank you for publishing these how-tos! At 48, I am a first time homeowner and I have so much to learn! I was successful cleaning the vent and I feel capable tackling other projects, thank you!

I don’t know how this video popped up in my feed at 3am and the funny thing is that I’m enjoying it.

Thank you for this helpful video about how to clean dryer vent ducts step-by-step. I just helped a friend clean her dryer vent duct from basement to outside of home. The friend learned that a drill connected to flexible rods with brushes prevented a dryer fire. The dryer vent cleaning system kit featured in the video is worth every penny for deep cleaning dryer vents. 16 feet of the vent was clogged with lint from the basement to outside of home and could have been a dryer fire in her home. She told me,”clothes were not drying.” I have learned so much from this video and strive to inform others about dryer fires. Electrical tape does keep the rods from coming apart during the dryer vent cleaning process. Guiding a drill, when adding a new rod, is very helpful. I used this technique this evening helping a friend clean a dryer vent. She replied,”you really know your stuff about dryer fires.” Thanks for teaching me this important task.

I told a neighbor about dryer fire prevention today. The neighbor is interested in me helping them clean their dryer vent. The video is helpful in the dryer vent cleaning system process.

These dryer vent cleaning videos are oddly addictive, so after watching many of them I feel compelled to say how appreciative I am of your neat approach. I’ve watched people blow lint everywhere inside or out of their home even though they have a vacuum near by. I love it when people keep a neat and orderly work area. You explained everything so clearly. Thanks, and well done!

Your filming, editing and narrating is excellent. The content is excellent, the subject, examples, angles, explanations all really very well done. I know it takes a lot of effort, planning/forethought, filming and editing time. Thank you.

As a former city volunteer with Police and Fire and Rescue I have heard many stories about house fires due to dryers. Once a year cleaning is a minimum cleaning schedule. If you dry multiple loads a week, every 6 months is much safer especially if you have a family with children. As with changing batteries in fire alarms every six months, I like the schedule using spring and autumn equinox to remember to do household 6-month chores, also day light savings time is popular with some people. Thank you for posting this DIY dryer cleaning video. Very easy to follow and I love the type of kit you are using.

I just cleaned my dryer vent duct from my basement to patio using the Gardus LintEater Pro Dryer Vent Cleaning System Kit with a cordless DeWalt drill. I was surprised by some fine lint dust that was removed, as I was cleaning my dryer vent this Sunday afternoon. I told a coworker about me knowing how to clean a dryer vent. He thought it was cool. I mentioned this kit with rods and brushes connected to a drill. I used your method of using electrical tape between rods to prevent the rods from getting lost, while cleaning my dryer vent today. I learned how to clean my dryer vent from your helpful YouTube video. I just wanted to be safe to prevent a dryer fire from lint build-up in the dryer vent duct.
