Home Depot Dryer Trap. The first step on how to clean a dryer vent is to unplug the dryer. Helps to eliminate excess lint within the duct reducing the risk of dryer fire occurring and allowing the air to pass more easily through the duct.
The ease of installation comes from a self threading plastic elbow. Also locate the dryer exhaust vent at your home s exterior. Over time years the door may crack or the screen may become damaged or frayed.
After the first dryer load i was amazed that the vortex trap caught more lent then the built in dryer trap.
Installs easily onto your dryer transition duct and collects additional lint that is not captured by the standard dryer.

I had new ducting installed for the dryer and installed the vortex lent trap as a secondary trap to hopefully keep me from having to clean out the ductwork in the future.
