Save your life. Clean your dryer vent in under 60 seconds!

The importance of keeping your dryer lint trap clean is extreme!  These little contraptions can easily catch fire, and are one of the leading causes of house fires.  Here's a very simple way to prevent this from happening to you.

Make sure you clean them at least every 6 months.  The key to remember is, you cannot see the buildup.  It is invisible to the human eye, and is caused by the dryer sheets that we use to keep our clothes smelling extra fresh and keeping them static free.  These sheets have an oil that builds up, and the tight mesh of our dryer vents holds this oil in.

You can easily tell if your dryer vent is dirty, simply by running it under the kitchen sink.  If there is any hesitation in the water passing through the vent, you should clean it.

All you need is a VERY small drop of Dawn, and a brush to scrub with (I used an old tooth brush).



Simply scrub over the entire vent, rinse well, and dry.  Literally it takes less than one minute, and can save your life.  It's that simple!  

Thanks for checking out this blog, please feel free to leave any other cleaning tips you have!  
Stay blessed, and never stop believing.
