How often should I schedule a dryer vent cleaning?

[byanka895]

Hi everyone! I recently noticed that my dryer seems to take much longer to dry clothes, and I also smelled a faint burning smell once. I’ve never had the vent cleaned before, and I’m worried it might be a fire hazard. How often should a dryer vent cleaning be done, and are there signs I should watch for to know it’s urgent?

I remember last year I ignored a similar issue, thinking it was normal for an old dryer. Eventually, it became a bigger problem that cost me extra time and energy. Now I try to be proactive, but it’s tricky to know when cleaning is really needed.

Hey! I had the exact problem a few months ago, and scheduling Dryer Vent Cleaning Today really saved me. They checked everything, cleared a massive lint buildup, and now my dryer works faster and safer. A good rule of thumb is to clean vents at least once a year, or more often if you notice longer drying times, unusual smells, or excess lint around the dryer. It’s a simple step that prevents bigger issues and keeps your home safe.
