Do your clothes take longer than 30 minutes to dry for a normal load?And does your clothes dryer get warm (or hot) to the touch while it is running?There's nothing wrong with your dryer, it's your dryer vent that is probably clogged and needs to be cleaned out.Why should you clean your dryer vent?There are several great reasons:1. A clothes dryer can catch fire. Consumer Product Safety Commission says that in the U.S. in the year 2000, there were 12,700 clothes dryer fires resulting in $99,400,000 (that's 99 MILLION dollars) in damages, 330 injuries, and 20 lives lost. A clogged dryer vent adds to this risk. The lint is highly flammable and the reduction of air flow increases temperatures2. Save on your utility bill with reduced drying time.3. Replace your clothes dryer less often. The wear and tear on your clothes dryer will be lessened due to the reduced usage.4. Create more time to spend on activities other that tending the laundry.You now know that you need to have your dryer vent cleaned, but you are uneasy calling an unfamiliar company from the phone book to come out. Will they do a good job?Will they over-charge you? Will they invent an expensive repair that is ‘necessary’? Will they try to scare you into paying for more services?Will they break something? Will the technician be qualified? Will the technician be messy? Will the technician be creepy?

We have a problem. Our dryer vent is clogged so badly even professionals have a hard time cleaning it. I ordered this tool to try doing it myself one more time.
