I'm really confused about lint screens on dryers now. I w😢as brought up to clean the lint screen after every load of washing you dry. But if lint screens on the dryer don't catch all the lint, arent they giving people a false sense of safety? And if lint screens don't protect from dust buildup in the air vents, why has no one designed a better dryer that would catch all the dust? A lint screen that still allows dust to build up in the vents seems about as useful as a brake pedal that turns on the brake lights but doesn't stop your car. Why not have the vent duct quite short and blowing into a container that would catch the lint, like a hepa-filter-lined container so you can collect all the lint and dump it out?
@dryeronfire Ha ha. Your video is very satisfying as well. I feel sad my dryer exhaust is only about 12 inches. Lol The old 1960's attic insulation here looks exactly like the dyer lint you were blowing out of there. Lol
@dryeronfire haha I pull it out every 5-6 months and shopvac it, run a long brush through. Your video however makes me want to go clean my son's house very long pipe. Haha
Ive been using gardus lint eater brand for 8 years and they are mostly good. Just have to learn their limits. Not top of the line by any means, but you can do a good job at a minimal investment.
Some do, not even 25% I’d guess. If you live where there is a HOA, sometimes they’re not allowed. Also, weather has a huge impact on how efficient they are. Arizona is perfect, Minnesota not so much due to humidity.
Nice job man! Glad you are out there too helping people keep their homes safe! From one professional to another, may I offer you a little bit of advice?
@@dryeronfire I thought I should be polite and ask because I know there is always someone who wants to give unsolicited advice on these kinds of channels. Haha. I’m cleaning a dryer vent right now but I will get back to you soon.
@@dryeronfire okay! I’m back! Because some of your content may be older than the dates posted, I wanted to be respectful and ask if the rods you are using in this video are the same style you are using to this day. Are they? I ask because if you are still using them, I would urge you to consider a stronger and more robust set of rods with a better design in their connection and greater options for brush size and stiffness and material to fit. There are plenty of places to purchase good sets with thicker rods but good flexibility and also give you much greater cleaning ability without the risk of snapping a rod so easily as the rods I see in this video. I do hope that I am preaching to the choir.
@@jeremiahharris5002 this is something that is on my radar but I have found that the store-bought lint eater rods are an inexpensive startup option. I have been doing dryer vent cleaning since 2015 and learned my limits with these rods. I definitely am open to upgrading for sure, but I’m definitely able to get the job done with these. Is there a brand that you would recommend?
@@dryeronfire yes! My company uses SnapLok brand and Vent Vision. We have used ButtonLok “White Slick” rods from AW Perkins. All of these brands have sets you can purchase or simply buy the tools, rods and brushes individually as you need them to build your own set. They are very sturdy and all those brands have retrieval heads available to remove the type of DIY set you are using (no offense). The rods are a bit thicker and a spring leader helps the brushes through the turns with ease and takes the pressure off of the rods and brush heads so they won’t snap as often inside of a vent run. Google each of those brands and have some fun looking through their catalogs! Quality equipment will make you $$$ 😁
These situations happen when people are careless, inattentive, or not/misinformed, BUT it's making you a living.
Your right! It is neglected. I think it kind of an epidemic. It does keep my business going though for sure.

I agree dryers should have better lint filtering. You can buy lint filter box that sits in the laundry room, and even add a booster fan
Phew, I had to wipe the dust out of my eyes whilst watching this and I am in the UK 😊

I work with a lot of property managers and that isn’t common. You’re a rare breed!!
THAT... is bad!!!
Meanwhile.. . The attic fluff insulation is all gone! Hehe 😂😂😂
It's almost as satisfying as dr Pimple Popper. 😅
What an honor to compare my work(art) to dr pimple popper!! 😂

@@TheAnetmusik dryer cavities can still accumulate lint. So there is still hope for you!

What brush and rods do you use?
Ive been using gardus lint eater brand for 8 years and they are mostly good. Just have to learn their limits. Not top of the line by any means, but you can do a good job at a minimal investment.
Do ppl in the USA who live In free-standing houses have clothes lines?
Some do, not even 25% I’d guess. If you live where there is a HOA, sometimes they’re not allowed. Also, weather has a huge impact on how efficient they are. Arizona is perfect, Minnesota not so much due to humidity.
