How to Clean Dryer Vents Yourself?

Cleaning your dryer vent is one of the important home maintenance tasks. Here are the main reasons to clean your dryer vent regularly:

  • Clogged vents prevent your dryer system from venting the steam from drying clothes, leaving you with still-damp clothes when the drying cycle finishes.
  • Dirty dryer vents are the main cause of house fires.
  • By making your dryer system work longer to dry clothes, the problem will lead to higher electrical bills, mechanical issues and expensive breakdowns.

    • While you can hire a professional for dryer vent cleaning, it is possible to do this yourself with the right vent cleaning tools. To clean a dryer vent, you will need top quality dryer vent cleaning kit. Our all-in-one dryer vent cleaning kit includes 3' green 5/16" diameter rods with aluminium ends, 3' green 3/8 diameter rods with gold ends, 2' white nylon starter rods, 4" Propeller Brush w/10" covered spring leader, 4" ProSpin brush 10" covered spring, Green missile Whip/Clog Buster, Retrieval Coil, Drill adapter, Quick Release EZ Driver Drill Adapter, user guide and soft carry bag with two zip pockets and rod divider.

    Here are the steps you need to follow to clean your dryer vent effectively

  • Attach the vent cleaning brush from your dryer kit to the end of one to the flexible rods, then insert the brush into the dryer vent duct.
  • Connect the other end of the flexible vent cleaning rod to your power drill.
  • Turn on your vacuum and keep the hose near the entrance of the duct, then turn on your drill in the forward position.
  • Move your drill in and out of the clogged vent, but do not remove the cleaning brush fully from the vent while the drill is in working condition. You need to run the drill in the recommended direction, and do not reverse the drill as this may cause the vent cleaning rods to separate inside your vent, which can be difficult to remove.
  • With the cleaning rod completely inserted into the dryer duct, turn off the drill and vacuum, remove the drill and connect another cleaning rod. You can use tape to make strong connection point between the two rods.
  • Attach the drill and start vent cleaning until the dryer vent is properly clean.

    • Our dryer vent cleaning kit is suitable for all dryer vent shapes and sizes. Flexible dryer vent cleaning brush is made up of co polymer rather than nylon that will not break in the vent during cleaning. Ensure professional cleaning results with the top quality dryer vent kit.
