According to most manufacturers, you should clean your dryer vent every two to three years to ensure safety and efficiency. However, certain factors may require more frequent cleanings, such as: High Dryer Usage: If you use your dryer frequently, especially in large households, cleaning the vent every 2 years is recommended. Signs of Lint Buildup: If clothes take longer to dry, the dryer feels hot to the touch, or there's a burning smell, it’s time to clean the vent immediately. Pets: If you have pets, the extra hair can lead to faster lint buildup, requiring more frequent cleanings. Regular cleaning helps prevent fire hazards, improves drying efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your dryer.

Common signs that your dryer vent needs cleaning include: Clothes taking longer than usual to dry. The dryer feels very hot to the touch. A musty or burning smell when the dryer is running. Excessive lint around the dryer vent opening. The dryer shuts off before completing a full cycle (a safety feature triggered by overheating).

A typical dryer vent cleaning service takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the length of the vent and the amount of lint buildup. In some cases, if the vent is excessively clogged, it may take longer.
