Doing these checks will ensure the unit works effectively and lasts longer.
Should I clean dryer ducting?
Dryer ducting cleaning is essential for fire safety and dryer longevity. Lint build up can be a major cause of house fires so its important to clean once a year at least. Use a dryer vent cleaning brush or similar to get into and around the ducting whilst rotating the brush to encourage and loosen the lint so it comes out easier. Once satisfied the ducting can be reattached and dryer can be put back in place.
