For most households, clothes dryer vent cleaning once a year is sufficient. But if you use your dryer more frequently, or notice the signs below, you may need service sooner than a year:
- Dry cycles take longer than usual
- Even with the longer cycles, clothes still don’t get completely dry
- Clothes are abnormally hot at the end of a cycle
- The dryer itself is hot to touch
- You smell something burning when the dryer is on
