Hey man keep doin' what your doing, people need to make their jobs work for them, the gov is giving out tax dollars, time, and money to others and they're even making side gigs like Grub hub, Uber, etc start treating private contractor like an employee, so I suppose that means more taxes out if their pockets.

As a daughter of a now retired firefighter, it amazes me how many people dont realize that this is one of the top causes of house fires. I had this beat into my head as a kid because he had made so many calls to fires started by an unclean dryer vent. I swear I have more ptsd from his career than he does, because of the horror stories Ive been told my whole life. But at least I know my dryer vents are clean and far less likely to burn my house down. Clean your dryer vents!
in Poland nobody owns a dryer, so we dont have these problems. we dry our clothes at a hanger at home which improves air quality by raising its humidity. Saves power, is safer and more healthy. I had one of those in belgium - they destroy clothes much quicker than drying clothes on a hanger. besides emergencies. It's not very smart to use a dryer.
@@grzegorzk5149I have a dryer and I love it for towels and bedding but I never put my clothes in it. They shrink and wear out much faster. With my last baby we had a lot more money to spend on cute outfits and I always hung those out inside the house on a drying rack. When I passed the clothes along to my sister and sister-in-law they were like new, all the cute little outfits with matching caps and socks. My sister-in-law had her third boy and she had been hoping for a girl but she said that the cute baby boy clothes that I gave her that she couldn’t have afforded made it more fun for her to be able to dress her baby up super cute and they were like new. She adores her son and wouldn’t change him for the world but the nice clothes were icing on the cake.
I have a dryer and love it. I hand washed clothes and hung them to dry. Never again. Saved each month until I could buy a washer and a dryer. The crazy thing is my manufacturer of my dryer said clean the lint filter once a month. I complained and told them it should be done after every load.
@@boutdamntime Yeah, it’s always 1: they don’t notice you standing there, or 2: it’s your job now.. or 3: they do most of it but give you a job like holding a tool so you feel helpful
Ive never never seen a vent like this in our country. Australia. No vents in the walls at all to take dryer lint out of the house. And none in tall buildings of unit living either. This is what we’ve done:- House :- The laundry is usually at the back of the house, so when we use the dryer, we just open the back door up to allow the moisture to escape from the room. Excess lint probably ends up all over the room everywhere and we clean and vacuum once a week to keep it clean. If using dryer at night with a closed up house, the entire laundry room becomes foggy and damp which is not a good idea. Maybe a ceiling exhaust fan could help, but those are usually just in bathrooms not laundries here. Its interesting how it’s so different in the US to have these dust or lint extraction vents in the wall then out to the house exterior! Since this can be a fire hazard, what would happen if you didn’t connect the dryer to a pipe and then not connected it to a wall vent as well. What if the excess lint (in addition to what we always collect and clean in the filter) was left to circulate in the room, and you just left a door open for moisture to escape like they do in Australia. How would that affect things in the US doing that. ?
@@margareth1504 it’s an easy process. Just clean lint catcher in dryer after every use. Hose from dryer goes directly outside and there’s never a problem as long as you clean lint catcher in dryer regularly.
@@margareth1504I think we’d have even more mold problems. I know us, we will not be opening any doors or windows while drying clothes and risk letting all the “good air” out. And we don’t clean the laundry room very often. Once a week!? We are lucky to do it once a year. 😓
💀 If you didn’t know by the way, Jesus loves you and will fulfill you more than anything, I speak from experience, he wants a meaningful relationship with you, and you will find him if you seek him. Look up the abcs of salvation teenmissions on Google and it should be the first result, click what it says and read and do what it says, It’s not hard (and if it is ask God to help you), I promise you it’s more worth it than you could imagine. I’ll leave you with these verses… “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 KJV God Bless you and may The Lord Jesus guide you and teach you as you live your life. I pray he does and you let him guide you. Amen.
What makes me want to clean my dryer vent is remembering when the mayor of Austin, Texas, Ann Richards, went home at lunchtime to toss a load into the dryer, and went back to City Hall. Less than an hour later her neighbors called the fire department because her house was on fire. It was caused by a lint-clog in her dryer vent. I was young at the time, but have never forgotten it.
So my mother cleaned it once a month, along with making my dad take the light socket off so she can dust 😂 When my dear mother got older, it became my job (made hubby do her dryer vent), but we didn’t do it every month. One day as we’re taking the light socket out, my brother grabbed his phone, took a picture and said “finally, I found dust” my mom looked mortified, literally just a light socket, so I did it every month to make her happy. She was an amazing mother and worked so hard, but she was a neat freak, she loved to entertain and she didn’t care how messy the guest were, as long as everyone enjoyed themselves. Growing up I actually had a new friend come over in high school and the first thing she said was “does anyone live here” 🤣 Oh, she never went to bed after entertaining, she had to clean up first 😜
My Mother to a T. Remade our beds, vacuumed to high heaven, visit her and know if you shoot out of the room for 5 minutes your glass is in the dishwasher. Super powers are seeing beyond the naked eye, a tiny speck of dirt or dust or streak. Grateful but it set an unattainable standard for me as a young mother. Brought feelings of deep shame when the parents would stop by unannounced and remark on the mess of my house, then giving unsolicited judgement on my parenting. I had three small children in an apartment size home.
I’m a Merchant Marine engineer and I cleaned a dryer vent on a ship once that was so clogged I had to use a plumbers power auger to remove the lent, as it was salt infused. The dryer vent pipe was 32 feet long and had a few 90 degree turns. It was crazy how much lent was in the dryer vent.
@@_papad8434 yes they do laundry on submarines,, I don’t have experience with that, as I am a Merchant Marine ( surface vessels), on civilian vessels. But I bet you can look up a video on that subject right here on RUclips.
"lint", not lent. it is not something you have loaned to someone, nor is it a religious ritual. otherwise, great tale! I don't doubt it at all. (I've seen worse in houses, 60' vertical line is just bullshit)
I am a deckhand and they make us clean the traps every day. Well everyone is told to clean after each use. We do a good job of that but some boats lol. You could make shirts out of the lint.
Many people don't know that dryer fires are the "one of the top" reasons of house fires. I didn't know that until I had one in 2011. I just was so lucky that a friend, that I hadn't seen in months, went out of her way to drop by and say hi. When she drove up saw flames coming out my dryer vent. We were able to contain it to the dryer only due to her immediately alerting me. So many are not so fortunate. I thank God and an amazing friend for saving my home. I now am very diligent about cleaning my lint out.
I'm astonished at how many Americans still dry their clothes in a tumble dryer rather than on a washing line or clothes airer. In Europe, tumble dryers account for less than 3% of house fires. Flames coming out of your dryer vent sounds very scary indeed - am sincerely glad that no-one was harmed...
I could’ve sworn the number one cause of housefires was kitchen/stove related. I have never heard someone say dryer fires are the number one cause of housefires
@@dh123ize it can't be damp and it ignites on the thin edges not the full body. Also may depends on the material. I guess you living a bored life to test this.
Static electricity at that... lightning hit one side of Momma house and and sparked a major fire under the laundry room floor boards here in Atlanta 7-28-2024
, sí, es de la secadora!!! ¡Que ridículo?! Era un riesgo peligroso de incendio y habría impedido que la ropa se secara de manera eficiente. ¡Apuesto a que la factura de electricidad de esa persona fue mucho más alta de lo que debería haber sido!
These people are allowed to live amongst us. You could be the most responsible person in the world living in an apartment & your next door neighbor might be a ticking house fire.
And to make matters worse, apartment complexes usually ignore this service! They usually find more value in things that are aesthetic, not taking care of the real issues.
Yeah, they are among us. Not just with dryer lint, but other boneheaded things. Like bbq fires. My neighbor uses so much starter fluid i can smell it, in my house, from fourth ft away. And, has to make sure with extra starter, that its blazing at least two ft high when he puts the meat on. Do not understand why they don't get sick. Also dumps the coals onto semi dry grass clippings. Started a ragging fire once with his wood fence the victim. Dummies are everywhere.
My apartments are really good about having people who clean the lint 2-3 times a year. We’re also not allowed to have grills. They test fire extinguishers frequently. It just depends on where you live.
@@lintawayductcleaning we do it like that because that's what corporate wants. By the way, I clean them from end to end and then inspect it with my camera to make sure nothing's left. Good luck being a pro duct cleaner. You mom must be proud.
@@unseelie63 an overwhelming number of ship board fires are dyer fires. BTW statistics tell up if a fire is not put out by the crew member who found it, 80% of the time the ship is lost! Crazy to think about that. I have personally found two fires while on duty in 16 years, I got both fires put out within a few seconds, they were small fires. Scary all the same.
It took me some time to understand what this « dryer vent » was (there are none in my country, you have to remove dust from the dryer directly). BUT IT WAS SO SATISFYING TO WATCH !!! 🤭 Thank you !
The dryer hooks up to this pipe to exhaust hot air outside the home. The dryer itself also has a filter that can easily be cleaned out before every use.
Linitipede.....Definition: the dreaded lint creature that inhabits dryer tubes when people don't clean them....deadly to houses when they catch fire. But, good news.....they are removeable.
This reminds me of my older sister. She graduated hs with a 4.0 gpa, scored very high on her ACT…and in 4 years never once cleaned out her dryer lint trap. She paid a repair man to come fix her “broken” dryer and he said he had never seen a dryer that clogged. She would run the dryer 4 or 5 times per load to get clothes dry.
Some people are great at memorizing and test taking but have limited awareness and basic life sense. I have a family member like your sister who is a doctor. 🙃 He's still practicing even though he's injured several patients on accident.
@@RachaelLewis68Ohh, that is so sad.😞 I hope your sister gets her dryer filter cleaned regularly now so she won’t ever have to lose anymore furbabies.🙏💔
There's book sense and common sense. Two different things. My lawyer BF laughed at me when I said stick a potato on the broken bulb to get it off. 😮 Electrician charged $250 and said you should've listened to her. 😂
Not really, I have repaired a few dryers and they were absolutely full off this stuff when taken apart, all over the control board, motor, heater. I was also surprised how those didn’t catch a fire, but surprisingly they don’t🤷♂️
Got a friend that will not maintain anything. House, vehicles, lawn, etc. Out of curiosity one day I examined the lint trap of his new dryer. (Killed the last one) Apon examination I found enough lint that could be made into socks for every needy child in N.America. AC filter you ask? Hahahaha ha ha.
@@TamaraGarrettAlpha Why didn't I think that. By gosh from here on out it's a little less criticing and a lot more cleaning. I think is the little push that I've needed to become a plus for humanity. Yep, I feel better already. Thanks and a good day to you.
This is probably what ours looked like at our old house. We rented and our dryer had never been cleaned out. We asked for a new washer and dryer because they hadn’t been working right. They were OLD. Our “landlord’s” handyman came out. He checked the dryer vent and said we were so lucky the house hadn’t caught on fire. No one ever came by again and we got a “letter” in the mail stating our “lease” was being terminated. So glad we bought a house. Dude was such a slumlord.
I remember I worked at a spa and literally told them to make sure to tell everybody to clean the dryer lint trays AND ask maintenance to clean the vents…nobody listened. I was getting ready for work one morning and as soon as I was almost there, got a phone call from the manager saying there was a fire in the spa…
When my husband and I moved into our house, it was hard to get anything dry in one cycle. Whoever installed the previous vent tubing must have been an amateur handyman because the tubing had so many convoluted twists and turns to get outside. My husband replaced the tubing in a more direct manner and found the lint in the old tube to be almost as bad as above. Fortunately, the dryer we have now had a lint indicator. As soon as it shows some blockage, my husband brings out his drill and vent brushes.
I clean mine 2-3 times a year with one of those rotating brushes- makes a big difference in drying time which saves money, lessens wear and tear on the dryer, and prevents fires from lint.
@pascalswager9100 certainly the dryers have screens for lint but some gets through to the vent line and builds up over time. It's a very easy (might even say fun) activity that takes about 5-10 minutes a few times a year depending on how much you dry.
@@benborah1264 So bizarre to Me lol, we don't have them in Oz at all, a lot of people don't even have dryers, I don't. We use the good old clothes line, even in winter (which it is right now) kids use them as a merry-go-round. I seen a thing in the skirting boards that suck away the dust you sweep, instead of a dustpan..... super trippy 😊
We purposely put our dryer against an exterior wall. No dryer hose. Just a straight, eight inch length of pipe through the exterior wall, connecting the back of the dryer to the outdoors. We can take the vented cover off on the outside and wipe the whole thing out with a dust rag. No lint buildup.
it you see this coming out of your dryer line your lucky to be alive and not dead in a fire because that is a fire hazard this is how house fires start every year from this kind of dirty build up in lines like this so get your dryer line cleaned regularly the lives you save could be your own and your family
Thank God whomever owned / owns that house went and cleaned that vent. I know someone whose house burned down because of all that stuff in the vent and not cleaning it out. She went to dry a load of laundry, and that stuff in the vent caught fire and there went the house. Thankfully, she and her husband had full coverage on the homeowners insurance, so the house got rebuilt, but honestly, it scared my mom and I so badly, hearing that story, that we are super careful about that now. We always try to vacuum out as much as we can so we don't loose the house to a fire.
You literally just saved lives...big time fire hazard! When worked as a home health aide I cleaned the lint screen every time I used the clients dryers....some were outrageous.
I hate it!! Unfortunately with condos and townhouses it appears to be standard. I would think it would be better to route it under the floor to the outside.
That happened at work. They had originally routed it up, around & out & after it started smoking (and we clean it out monthly... & the lint trap with every load), they rerouted it along the floor & out. Fewer turns, no fight with gravity & they used a smooth walled tube. No problems since.
I’m curious too. What kind of vacuum was that? It looked like the hose for the dryer vent. But unbelievable. I’m actually going to be doing this tonight.
I agree. Mine is directly next to an exterior wall, all I have to clean is the hose and never the inside of the dryer cause I do it very often. These interior ones have to be a pain in the ass.
Maybe just use a modern heatpump drier that dont need pipe at all? Cannot even imagine how much energy this primitive tech needs...the hot air just go out into the air..
Friend of mine had a house at the Jersey shore with the same issue. He said the dryer would take hours to dry a load of clothes. I pulled the vent hose off a pushed out what you saw in this video but probably twice the length. How the dryer still worked was the amazing part
This was so satisfying to watch🤭🤭🤭I scheduled an appointment to have someone come out tomorrow to do this, because it’s been taking over 3 hours to dry one load🥺🥺🥺

Esto viene de la secadora? O se dónde es...
@@betydominguez7926it’s all from the dryer
Originally yes, @@betydominguez7926. The lint is supposed to vent to air, but gets stuck in the corrugated hose, amassing.
For Real !!
, sí, es de la secadora!!! ¡Que ridículo?! Era un riesgo peligroso de incendio y habría impedido que la ropa se secara de manera eficiente. ¡Apuesto a que la factura de electricidad de esa persona fue mucho más alta de lo que debería haber sido!
That’s been packed up since dinosaurs were alive. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes totally. We have dryers now with no need for plumbing. Just scoop out the vent at the front to clean.
🦖🦖🦖
Maybe it’s dinosaur poop
He should weigh and measure it like fisherman do with their biggest catch

😅 yes

You are unwell!! 😂😂
It should have been going somewhere! Outside, under the house. That looks like there was just a hole and no where to go! 😵
No dust bunnies here, only dust dragons!😬🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❣️
These people are allowed to live amongst us. You could be the most responsible person in the world living in an apartment & your next door neighbor might be a ticking house fire.
And to make matters worse, apartment complexes usually ignore this service!
They usually find more value in things that are aesthetic, not taking care of the real issues.
Yeah, they are among us. Not just with dryer lint, but other boneheaded things. Like bbq fires. My neighbor uses so much starter fluid i can smell it, in my house, from fourth ft away. And, has to make sure with extra starter, that its blazing at least two ft high when he puts the meat on. Do not understand why they don't get sick. Also dumps the coals onto semi dry grass clippings. Started a ragging fire once with his wood fence the victim. Dummies are everywhere.
My apartments are really good about having people who clean the lint 2-3 times a year. We’re also not allowed to have grills. They test fire extinguishers frequently. It just depends on where you live.
I work maintenance at an apartment complex. We clean the dryer vents at least twice a year. Even more so if the tenant requests it.
@@lintawayductcleaning we do it like that because that's what corporate wants. By the way, I clean them from end to end and then inspect it with my camera to make sure nothing's left. Good luck being a pro duct cleaner. You mom must be proud.
Oh man! That was a fire waiting to happen! Glad it was cleaned out in time to prevent a tragedy.People don't think about this!
Please refer a company used. Thx
Oh I think about that!! Safety first.
My guy, I literally said this while watching! And you are right, people don't think about it.
@@unseelie63 an overwhelming number of ship board fires are dyer fires.
BTW statistics tell up if a fire is not put out by the crew member who found it, 80% of the time the ship is lost!
Crazy to think about that.
I have personally found two fires while on duty in 16 years, I got both fires put out within a few seconds, they were small fires.
Scary all the same.
This video makes me breath funny.
But also satisfying to see that it’s probably much more clear than it was.
Almost feels like you’re breathing in dust?
@@anonymousprime3395 yes
It took me some time to understand what this « dryer vent » was (there are none in my country, you have to remove dust from the dryer directly). BUT IT WAS SO SATISFYING TO WATCH !!! 🤭 Thank you !
The dryer hooks up to this pipe to exhaust hot air outside the home. The dryer itself also has a filter that can easily be cleaned out before every use.

You discovered the mythical Elder Lintipede! I'm so glad that after a fierce bsttle you were able to beat it. A true hero.
Lol...Lintipede! 😂😂😂
Linitipede.....Definition: the dreaded lint creature that inhabits dryer tubes when people don't clean them....deadly to houses when they catch fire. But, good news.....they are removeable.
😂😂🐛💨💨
😂
😅😅😅
I wanted to sneeze just from watching this
The dryer made a scarf, how nice
and if you use the dryer again, it'll be nice an warm, and if you use it alot, it'll be too nice and warm
Genius comment!
To replace the socks it stole🧦=🧣😂🤣
😂
Bro:
My ps4 isnt that dirty!
I dont know why it sounds so loud!
Bro's ps4 when you open it:
That went from mesmerising to pure fear 😳😳😳
everybody was gangster until the lint dragon comes out to play.
If you stick the leaf blower into that vent hole you can make it “snow” outside
😂😂 good idea
Thank you for the sage advice. My neighbors are going to love me… hehehhe
😂😂😂😂
* When you get done drinking coffee in the morning *
This reminds me of my older sister. She graduated hs with a 4.0 gpa, scored very high on her ACT…and in 4 years never once cleaned out her dryer lint trap. She paid a repair man to come fix her “broken” dryer and he said he had never seen a dryer that clogged. She would run the dryer 4 or 5 times per load to get clothes dry.
Idiot savant of the machine world.
Some people are great at memorizing and test taking but have limited awareness and basic life sense. I have a family member like your sister who is a doctor. 🙃 He's still practicing even though he's injured several patients on accident.
My older sister's house burned down because of her clogged lint filter in the dryer...lost 3 of her cats too😢
@@RachaelLewis68Ohh, that is so sad.😞 I hope your sister gets her dryer filter cleaned regularly now so she won’t ever have to lose anymore furbabies.🙏💔
There's book sense and common sense. Two different things. My lawyer BF laughed at me when I said stick a potato on the broken bulb to get it off. 😮 Electrician charged $250 and said you should've listened to her. 😂
Oh my goodness, I'm getting ready too clean my dryer vent right now!
Hopefully it’s not this bad!
@@lintawayductcleaning. What type of machine did you use for this?
How do you do that?
Same!!! 😂
I'm with you! Gosh, that was scary.
A lot of people do not believe how dirty can vents get. Its horrendous😱
Ignorance..
This reminds me of the scene from the 2000 Grinch film where the Grinch takes that huge hose and just starts sucking everything up. Lol
That's almost as refreshing as watching a pimple pop video.
You have issues 🤢
I was just about to post this comment 😂😂
Was thinking the same thing!
Ew wtf lol
#1 fire hazard in the home
Must just be my clothes, but I tried to set this stuff on fire one time and it wouldn’t ignite
Not really, I have repaired a few dryers and they were absolutely full off this stuff when taken apart, all over the control board, motor, heater. I was also surprised how those didn’t catch a fire, but surprisingly they don’t🤷♂️
Wrong that would be unattended cooking,nice guess though
@@thepropview9517 Weird, I save my dryer lint and use it to start campfires
Why is this so satisfying? 😂😂
I KNOW ...
I know too!
Watching this is so satisfying! Lovely job!!
Got a friend that will not maintain anything. House, vehicles, lawn, etc. Out of curiosity one day I examined the lint trap of his new dryer. (Killed the last one) Apon examination I found enough lint that could be made into socks for every needy child in N.America. AC filter you ask? Hahahaha ha ha.
😂 how about a mattress !
🤣😂🥲😂🤣😂🤣🤣
😱🧦🧣🧶🔥😱👏😂🤣
Why don't you help and not just criticize..🤷♀️
@@TamaraGarrettAlpha Why didn't I think that. By gosh from here on out it's a little less criticing and a lot more cleaning. I think is the little push that I've needed to become a plus for humanity. Yep, I feel better already. Thanks and a good day to you.
@karltite128 you VERY WELCOME 👋
This is probably what ours looked like at our old house. We rented and our dryer had never been cleaned out. We asked for a new washer and dryer because they hadn’t been working right. They were OLD. Our “landlord’s” handyman came out. He checked the dryer vent and said we were so lucky the house hadn’t caught on fire. No one ever came by again and we got a “letter” in the mail stating our “lease” was being terminated. So glad we bought a house. Dude was such a slumlord.
I remember I worked at a spa and literally told them to make sure to tell everybody to clean the dryer lint trays AND ask maintenance to clean the vents…nobody listened. I was getting ready for work one morning and as soon as I was almost there, got a phone call from the manager saying there was a fire in the spa…
BIL worked in insurance, that was basically how he ended conversations. "Clean your dryer vents"
@@Zictomorph 😆 that’s all that needed to be said! 😂
Блин,мне такой пылесос срочно нужно на работу!
When my husband and I moved into our house, it was hard to get anything dry in one cycle. Whoever installed the previous vent tubing must have been an amateur handyman because the tubing had so many convoluted twists and turns to get outside. My husband replaced the tubing in a more direct manner and found the lint in the old tube to be almost as bad as above. Fortunately, the dryer we have now had a lint indicator. As soon as it shows some blockage, my husband brings out his drill and vent brushes.
I clean mine 2-3 times a year with one of those rotating brushes- makes a big difference in drying time which saves money, lessens wear and tear on the dryer, and prevents fires from lint.
So weird that they're a permanent feature in the wall. Do the actual machines also have a catcher? And do You's use a clothes line as well?
@pascalswager9100 certainly the dryers have screens for lint but some gets through to the vent line and builds up over time. It's a very easy (might even say fun) activity that takes about 5-10 minutes a few times a year depending on how much you dry.
@@benborah1264 So bizarre to Me lol, we don't have them in Oz at all, a lot of people don't even have dryers, I don't. We use the good old clothes line, even in winter (which it is right now) kids use them as a merry-go-round. I seen a thing in the skirting boards that suck away the dust you sweep, instead of a dustpan..... super trippy 😊
Do people not use clothes lines? It's so bizarre people live in a country where it gets super hot, clothing would dry in record time 🤔
@@PeterCaptainObviousi think the humidity around here usually fucks that up unfortunately, also very prone to getting shitted on by birds out there
Holy moly, they must not clean that for years. Jesus they lucky the house didn’t caught on fire
I have a serious dust allergy. Just watching this made me sneeze. Well done getting rid of that dirt
Legend has it he's still vacuuming
Stupid comment
That is what's your supposed to do every 6 months clean your vents clean your house clean up vacuum
Yeah, eventually he found the bodies of the people who lived there after he removed all of the lint. They were buried alive.
That’s so massive it just made me sneeze 🤧 watching this
😂
We purposely put our dryer against an exterior wall. No dryer hose. Just a straight, eight inch length of pipe through the exterior wall, connecting the back of the dryer to the outdoors. We can take the vented cover off on the outside and wipe the whole thing out with a dust rag. No lint buildup.
We have the same setup. It goes right outside
@@TheFamilyVonPapp That sounds like a very good idea.
Ours goes directly outside as well .
We just have a filter in the dryer that we clean after every use. This hose business seems complicated.
This is pure art. I'm sneezing just by watching this video
Omg! Fire safety! TY for cleaning that!
I literally sneezed just from watching this
Took me 50+ years but I now have a theory on how sweaters are made!
OH MY GOSH! That is INSANE...
You saved them from a fire and possible death. 🥰
I love vacuuming out the back and underneath the dryer.....and the hose, etc. Oddly satisfying!
it you see this coming out of your dryer line your lucky to be alive and not dead in a fire because that is a fire hazard this is how house fires start every year from this kind of dirty build up in lines like this so get your dryer line cleaned regularly the lives you save could be your own and your family
WOW, it's a wonder they didn't have a dryer fire. Glad they got it fixed
Thats 30 years of kindling right there
Thank God whomever owned / owns that house went and cleaned that vent. I know someone whose house burned down because of all that stuff in the vent and not cleaning it out. She went to dry a load of laundry, and that stuff in the vent caught fire and there went the house. Thankfully, she and her husband had full coverage on the homeowners insurance, so the house got rebuilt, but honestly, it scared my mom and I so badly, hearing that story, that we are super careful about that now. We always try to vacuum out as much as we can so we don't loose the house to a fire.
You literally just saved lives...big time fire hazard! When worked as a home health aide I cleaned the lint screen every time I used the clients dryers....some were outrageous.
Unbelievable, and how dangerous! 😮😮
Crazy!!! How did the dryer work at all?
Truly astonishing! Thanks for posting!
Found myself cringing and holding my phone as far away as possinle like the dust was gonna get me 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😹
Dont recall having to deal with anything like this until they got the bright idea of venting out the top of the house.
Yes, dumbest placement ever!!
Venting out the top is a horrible idea - just begging for trouble. 👿
I hate it!! Unfortunately with condos and townhouses it appears to be standard. I would think it would be better to route it under the floor to the outside.
That happened at work. They had originally routed it up, around & out & after it started smoking (and we clean it out monthly... & the lint trap with every load), they rerouted it along the floor & out. Fewer turns, no fight with gravity & they used a smooth walled tube. No problems since.
Just don't vent? Lmao I have never seen a dryer with a vent here
Wow, what kind of vacuum was that. That was satisfying to watch.
Disgusting, yet weirdly satisfying lol
I’m curious too. What kind of vacuum was that? It looked like the hose for the dryer vent. But unbelievable. I’m actually going to be doing this tonight.
This is the dryer vent of people who don't know what a dryer vent is.

Omg that lint sausage 🥴🫠❤️
Yeah u like it don't it 😂
That's made me sneeze just watching it 😂
That looks so satisfying!
This is why builders should be required to install dryers only against exterior walls so there is no long vent lines snaking through your house.
Our vent is about 2 feet long because the laundry room has only the outside wall to go through.
I agree. Mine is directly next to an exterior wall, all I have to clean is the hose and never the inside of the dryer cause I do it very often. These interior ones have to be a pain in the ass.
Tell that to the people that live in the two story homes with the laundry room up there XD.
@@ellieysama I don't understand what you mean? Second floors of buildings have exterior walls too...
Maybe just use a modern heatpump drier that dont need pipe at all? Cannot even imagine how much energy this primitive tech needs...the hot air just go out into the air..
🐍 Damn lint snakes!!! They’re probably what eats one side of my socks too!!! 🧦
No way! That house would’ve burned down! I’ve never seen lint buildup like this and it’s scary!
Idk about anyone else but this was satisfying to me 😅
Good lord! That has got to be a record of one of the most dust accumulations.
And I want something like that for my dryer.
It's a dead lint snake 🐍
I couldn't stop laughing looking at this video. This is hilarious😂
He could've easily sucked the dust straight into the vacuum, but he chose to create even more of a mess just to show us. Thank you, Duct Cleaner!
And I am very happy he did!
One of the best things you can do to prevent a house fire!
Watching this makes my eyes and nose itch 💯
Why is this so satisfying to me to watch...
Friend of mine had a house at the Jersey shore with the same issue. He said the dryer would take hours to dry a load of clothes. I pulled the vent hose off a pushed out what you saw in this video but probably twice the length. How the dryer still worked was the amazing part
That lint coming out like that looks like the dryer had Taco Bell the day before 🔥 😂
I have cleaned out hundreds of dryer vents. I have never seen anything like that. That is incredible
My asthma is making me weezy just looking at this
SAME
Unfortunately I know exactly what you mean
I call bullshit. This would’ve caught on fire long ago..
I get violently grossed out by those "satisfying" body extraction videos. This type of extraction video I can get behind. This is satisfying.
How the hell did that house not burn down seriously
I am surprised there wasn't a fire.
I don’t know why I find this so satisfying to watch 😂
This was so satisfying to watch🤭🤭🤭I scheduled an appointment to have someone come out tomorrow to do this, because it’s been taking over 3 hours to dry one load🥺🥺🥺
