It should be a crime that dryers are so poorly engineered that one needs to MacGyver solutions using paint stirrers, microfiber wrapped screwdrivers, and coat hangers to clean the vents. Seriously, wth?!
And why the hell aren’t the narrow hose attachments that come with a vaccuum at least like a foot long? Flexible? I mean come on… what are we doing as a species??? Would’ve made this whole thing so much easier.
Great video. How about the dryer vent cleaning kit with the hose that attaches to the vacuum! Also, people need to clean the exit screen - where it leaves the house! This can get packed with lint also and needs to be cleared! (More video ideas for ya!)
My lint trap started to slightly lift on one side. Clothes started to get stuck on a corner and turned the whole load of clothes into a “clothes tornado” that I had to untwist. I trimmed the now gnarled plastic and even sanded it smooth. Still happened. To my horror there is a huge chunk of lint UNDER the trap! They sure don’t make it easy to reach though! Why!? It was like a damn brick 🧱 lol I came here looking for tips on how to possibly reach the bit I can’t seem to get, thanks a bunch!
I greatly appreciated your video ☺️. Your tips and tactics helped immensely!!! You touch on such important details for home safety regarding our dryer. This was a much-needed video thank you so very much 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Good god the amout of crap I cleaned out of my lint trap after watching this video was EMBARASSING. Hopefully I won’t burn down the house! Great video!
Drying clothes decided to look in lint trap crevice with flashlight . New dryer single person and 😳 wow 6 years from new . This will continue after fully clean to be every few months big job , marking my calendar as reminder .
I had a hard time cleaning from the dryer to the outside… put a nylon stocking on the end in the house, attached my leaf blower to the outside vent and blew the pipe whistle clean.
I have this same dryer and just used one of those long flexible lint brushes to stick down in there. I didn't even know this area existed but now I'm paranoid because I couldn't get all of the dust and hair out since my vacuum is too this to stick in there...
I've always had good luck taping an auto heater hose to a shop vac attachment, and working the hose in to the space. You can get it pretty clean, along with the paint stick idea.
Just buy an appliance brush. They work for fridge coils, A/C coils, radiators, lint traps, etc. You can also blow the lint in and open from the back to clean the exhaust fan, coils, etc.
Bruh, literally, unscrew 2 or 3 screws that hold the plastic grate in place and stick your vacuum hose in it. You just made things so difficult for yourself and others.
Thanks for the video. I thought that if the vent is clean and the duct in the back was clean, that was all that was needed. Sad that companies actually create a fire hazard by creating a situation where there's "hidden" lint.
I do the "minimum" every single time I use the dryer Every four months or do I'll clean out the other bits of lint underneath it. Perhaps not every month as yourself My dryer also sends me an alert to clean our the "plinth" filter too which is decent
That dryers are designed badly. Can't open the vents to remove the lint. It really is a fire hazard and expensive to replace. Especially now that only condenser dryers are only available!!
How do i prevent the lent seeping out of the hose causing lent to fly around the laundry closet? I live in an apartment and the landlord won’t have maintenance secure the hose because I the W/D is their property (mine) and a handyman won’t do it because they don’t want to damage the apartment’s wall by securing it?
I clean my lint screen once in the middle of each load and again when I am done but today I found that hidden area in the video and it was full. I have one of those long lint brushes and couldn't even manage to get it all out with that.

I agree 💯 this is so dangerous!!!
It's a racket I guess. They probably get kickbacks from the repair companies.
And why the hell aren’t the narrow hose attachments that come with a vaccuum at least like a foot long? Flexible? I mean come on… what are we doing as a species???
Would’ve made this whole thing so much easier.
they probably do it on purpose so then people will call the maintenance just to clean the vents while the price of just cleaning it will be alot
@@user-mk1db7fm9v They have….it’s called “buy a new dryer”🤣 I did find a vacuum cleaner attachment that can slide down the filter slot.
I need the updated video on taking apart the dryer and deep cleaning it like you’ve mentioned you’d do

How do you clean the dryer vent that are connected to the back
Very good information on how to clean your dryer will try next time I clean my dryer.
I had a hard time cleaning from the dryer to the outside… put a nylon stocking on the end in the house, attached my leaf blower to the outside vent and blew the pipe whistle clean.
I have this same dryer and just used one of those long flexible lint brushes to stick down in there. I didn't even know this area existed but now I'm paranoid because I couldn't get all of the dust and hair out since my vacuum is too this to stick in there...
yeah I'm also a bit paranoid about the lint...
I've always had good luck taping an auto heater hose to a shop vac attachment, and working the hose in to the space. You can get it pretty clean, along with the paint stick idea.
Thanks for this showing us this, but doing this without a mask would literally kill me because of my dust allergies
Just buy an appliance brush. They work for fridge coils, A/C coils, radiators, lint traps, etc.
You can also blow the lint in and open from the back to clean the exhaust fan, coils, etc.
Awesome - thanks to the two of you!
Thank you. Everyone else talks about the duct but funding info on how to do this is impossible.
Very welcome

You skipped through the video cause he literally showed that his dryer isn’t capable of that lmao
Thanks for the video. I thought that if the vent is clean and the duct in the back was clean, that was all that was needed. Sad that companies actually create a fire hazard by creating a situation where there's "hidden" lint.
Icing spatula works great for this.
Unless you drop the Spatula and now it's at the bottom of the slot.
I do the "minimum" every single time I use the dryer
Every four months or do I'll clean out the other bits of lint underneath it. Perhaps not every month as yourself
My dryer also sends me an alert to clean our the "plinth" filter too which is decent
Great video! Thanks for showing this!
What about sticking the vacuum in the outside vent and vacuuming there also? There is lint in there, too, isn't there?
Good point! I need to show cleaning from the outside!
I can still hear sand when I first start the dryer. How do I get that out please?
This is the same ge I have, you have to take the front off and get to the blower wheel.
Is there any chance that the second video has an ETA?
Ope! I should have unplugged it? 🤦♀️ just did this today but with a long brush and the hose kit
wow! thanks!
Can I use duster cleaner to clean inside the lint catcher?
Thank you 👆
Is it possible to agitate fibers and move them deeper into the machine, making the fire hazard harder to reach and thus worse?
I clean mine with a shop vac with a crevice tool attachment.
I used a hanger and got so much out! Thanks so much!

How to fix this problem with the screen not able to capture all the stuff?
I lost my best spatula in lint slot. I should have watched this an hour ago.
What about lint at the back of the tumble dryer?!? It sticks to the machine and how the hell did it happen in the first place?!?
there’s another section underneath the dryer with even more unreachable dust
Thanks 🙏
I have tiny hand so I can just reach in there and get it out. 😊
I know this guy. Trying to solve this same problem!
I live in a rental and just found my pound of lint...who knows how many years and how many renters. I’m saddened.
Lucky it didn’t start a fire. Probably didn’t dry clothes that well either.
would be better to buy a dryer brush
What type of dryer is this, so I make sure I never purchase it.. you lost me at clothes hanger
You can just unscrew the cover using the two screws on the front. Way easier.
😂😂😂 right?
he literally says it’s for people who don’t want to take anything apart
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Glue the lint on your bald head so you have hair haha
Hellloooo
Hellllloooo
There's a brush for this
People who don’t clean out lint regularly, especially in shared dryers are disgusting
I clean my lint screen once in the middle of each load and again when I am done but today I found that hidden area in the video and it was full. I have one of those long lint brushes and couldn't even manage to get it all out with that.
😂get into the dryer and then go around in for a hour you doe does
use chopsticks
😂
Please stop saying “obviously”
