Maintaining a clean dryer vent isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about safety, cost savings, and prolonging the life of your machine. After using Grandma’s method, I realized just how much difference a little preventative maintenance can make.
Running the dryer after cleaning felt noticeably smoother. Clothes dried faster, the machine stayed cooler, and energy bills became a bit more manageable. The risk of a lint-fueled fire dropped dramatically, giving peace of mind that’s hard to quantify but incredibly valuable.
Grandma always performed this cleaning twice a year—once in the spring and again before winter. Following her advice, I’ve made it a personal routine. It’s simple, requires minimal equipment, and the results speak for themselves.
Even better, this method doesn’t require expensive services or specialized tools. A vacuum, a vent brush, and a leaf blower are all you need to keep your dryer running safely and efficiently. Regularly maintaining the vent ensures the dryer performs optimally, keeps energy use down, and significantly reduces the chances of a dangerous fire in your home.
It’s a small effort that pays off in comfort, safety, and savings—one simple routine with benefits that last all year long.
