When my grandma first showed me her method for cleaning a clogged dryer vent, I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed almost too simple to work. How could something so effortless improve dryer efficiency? But she just smiled knowingly and assured me: this technique uses nothing more than airflow and gravity—no complicated tools or disassembly required.
Why a Clean Dryer Vent Matters
Most people don’t think about their dryer vent until something goes wrong—but it’s one of the most important parts of home maintenance.
Fire safety: Lint buildup is one of the leading causes of household fires.
Efficiency: A clogged vent makes your dryer work harder, wasting energy and spiking utility bills.
Longevity: The extra strain shortens your dryer’s lifespan, costing you more in the long run.
A clean vent means safer laundry days, faster drying times, and less wear and tear on your machine.
Grandma’s hack keeps it simple. Most of these tools are things you probably already have at home:
A vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment
A long, flexible dryer vent brush
A leaf blower
