Dryer Vent Cleaning:
It is recommended to clean your dryer vents about every 6-9 months, if you have a large family or multiple pets.
Some signs you may need to clean your dryer vent are: your laundry is taking longer than usual to dry, the dryer itself is becoming hotter to the touch than normal, and a burning smell coming from your laundry area, according to The Home Depot.
Clothes dryers are responsible for more than 15,000 structure fires each year and 80% of those are due to clogged dryer vents.
