Dryer Vent Cleaning: The Spring Safety Check Most People Miss

Check it off before it's too late!

When most people think of spring cleaning, they picture clearing out closets, scrubbing baseboards, or opening windows to air out the house. But there's one vital home maintenance task that rarely makes the list—and skipping it could put your safety at risk: dryer vent cleaning.

The Hidden Danger in Your Laundry Room

Your dryer works hard to keep clothes fluffy and fresh, but with every load, tiny fibers and lint make their way into the vent system. Over time, this buildup becomes a serious fire hazard. In fact, according to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of house fires each year are caused by clogged dryer vents.

This isn’t just about lint filters—you probably clean that with every use. We're talking about the vent that leads from the back of your dryer to the outside of your home. If it’s not cleaned regularly, it can become a ticking time bomb.

Why Spring is the Perfect Time for a Dryer Vent Check

Spring is all about fresh starts. After a long winter of heavier clothing and more frequent laundry, your dryer vent is likely packed with buildup. And as temperatures rise, so does the risk of overheating appliances.

Plus, spring is often when pests like birds and rodents look for warm, cozy places to nest—and dryer vents are a prime target. A blocked or partially obstructed vent not only creates a fire hazard, but it also forces your dryer to work harder, driving up energy bills and wearing out your machine.

Signs Your Dryer Vent Might Be Clogged

Don’t wait until there’s a burning smell or a dryer breakdown. Here are red flags to watch for:

• Clothes take longer than usual to dry

• The dryer feels hot to the touch

• You notice a musty or burning odor

• Lint is building up around the vent opening outside

• Your laundry room feels unusually warm or humid
