Its that time again, I try to clean the ductwork for our clothes dryer twice a year, and now is as good a time as any.
How do you do it?
I pull my dryer out from the wall, insert my leaf blower so that it blows through the ductwork to the outside forcfully, and then from the outsite I use a wire snake, or a drain snake hooked up to a drill to clear any lint that may have gotten stuck or adhered to the sides of the duct.
My duct runs about 25 feet in all and has two 90 degree bends in it so it may be more challenging than most to clean but this system works well for me.
