Do I need to clean inside the lint trap housing too?

Yes. Lint frequently slips past the screen and collects inside the housing. A lint brush or vacuum attachment can help between professional visits, but a deep clean ensures proper airflow and maximum efficiency. Contact Dryer Vent Wizard of Benton County for expert lint trap and vent cleaning.

Why is lint trap cleaning so important?

Keeping the lint trap clean reduces fire risk, improves dryer efficiency, lowers energy bills, and helps extend the lifespan of your appliance. It also keeps your laundry fresher by preventing trapped moisture and heat.

How often should I clean the lint screen and lint trap?

Clean the lint screen after every load to keep airflow moving. Once a month, wash it with warm, soapy water to remove residue. For the deeper areas you can’t reach, schedule a professional lint trap and dryer vent cleaning at least once a year or every six months for homes with higher laundry loads.

What’s the best way to clean the lint screen without damaging it?

Remove lint by hand rather than tapping the screen on hard surfaces, which can bend or tear the mesh. To deep clean, gently wash the screen in warm, soapy water with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

What are the signs that my lint trap needs more than a quick clean?

Longer drying times, excessive heat, musty smells, or reduced airflow may indicate a clogged lint trap. These symptoms often point to hidden lint buildup that requires professional cleaning.

Residential Lint Screen and Dryer Lint Trap Cleaning in Benton County

Your dryer’s lint screen may be small, but it plays a major role in preventing overheating and reducing fire risk. Over time, however, residue from dryer sheets, fabric softeners, and fine lint can cling to the mesh and accumulate beneath the trap. Even when the screen looks clean, hidden buildup can still restrict airflow and cause longer drying times. It can also put added strain on your dryer, shorten its lifespan, and increase potential safety hazards.

That’s why Dryer Vent Wizard of Benton County offers professional lint screen and lint trap cleaning that goes far beyond at-home maintenance. Our service removes the residue you may not notice, restores proper airflow, and helps keep your laundry system running safely and efficiently.
