Make sure to also locate the dryer exhaust vent outside of your home.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Unplug the dryer. If your dryer runs on gas, turn off the supply valve while cleaning.<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Pull your dryer away from the wall, giving yourself enough space and flexibility to clean the vent<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Disconnect the duct from behind the dryer\u2014 this part may need a screwdriver in order to disconnect the vent clamp.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70d8dd3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70d8dd3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Vacuum the Vent<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1fd87a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1fd87a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Make sure you\u2019re wearing safety gloves for this step\u2014 reach back and remove the lint from the hole located at the back of the dryer.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">You\u2019ll need a vacuum in order to clean the lint out from the dryer duct. Use the hose attachment of your regular vacuum cleaner in order to thoroughly clean in and around the hole.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Tip: Cleaning the duct is easier if you detach the duct from the wall.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Go ahead and remove the lint built up in the duct, and vacuum the duct\u2019s interior.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, go outside your house and remove the exterior vent cover. Vacuum the dryer vent from outside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa00e6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fa00e6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Brush Out the Vent<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1dabb95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1dabb95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">If you find that your dryer vent\u2019s length prevents you from efficiently using a vacuum to remove the buildup, you may want to buy a dryer vent kit as an alternate method. This kit contains several flexible brushes equipped with extensions that can be utilized to thoroughly clean your vent\u2019s interior walls.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">The first step in this particular case is to ease the brush into the dryer duct, moving it back and forth as you slightly rotate it.<\/li>\n \t<li aria-level=\"1\">Use the brush extension as needed\u2014 depending on how long your vent is\u2014\u00a0 and continue this motion until your dryer\u2019s vents are lint and dust-free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b57641 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b57641\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Reconnect Your Dryer<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5021775 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5021775\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">As soon as you finish cleaning, make sure to inspect your dryer\u2019s ducts to ensure they\u2019re undamaged and meet all safety codes. Replace the ducts if necessary.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Reconnect the ductwork with the vent cover. If needed, seal parts of the ductwork with UL-listed metal foil duct tape.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Place your dryer back against the wall. Plug it back into the electrical outlet (or turn the gas valve back on).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If you\u2019d like to test the dryer before using it on any clothes, go ahead and run it for around 15 to 20 minutes on the air dry or fluff setting to ensure all the parts\u2019 connections are strong (and to get rid of any remaining dust particles).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you feel that these tips aren\u2019t very helpful, or that they\u2019re too overwhelming to accomplish on your own, then it might behoove you to hire a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/chimneysweep.com\/oldwebsite\/dryer-vent-cleaning\/\"><b>dryer vent cleaning service<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We at A Step in Time Chimney Sweeps in Virginia Beach, VA are experienced in all things dryer vent cleaning.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chimneysweep.com\/oldwebsite\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a>&nbsp;today for an estimate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips on How To Clean Your Dryer Vent Has your laundry been taking longer than usual to dry?
