Dryer vent cleaning is essential for both safety and efficiency. Over time, lint and debris build up in the vent, which can become a serious fire hazard if not removed regularly. A clogged vent also forces your dryer to work harder, increasing energy use and wear on the machine. Cleaning the dryer vent improves airflow, allowing clothes to dry faster and reducing the risk of overheating or malfunction. Ultimately, it helps prevent fires, lowers energy bills, and extends the life of your dryer.
