Dryvenck 40FT Dryer Vent Brush,Dryer Vent Cleaner for Dryer Cleaning,Use with a Power Drill,White

Cleaned out my dryer vent so my whole house didn't durn down! You would be surprised as how much lint can be inside your vent!

Great tool! My house is 40 years old and the dryer vent has never been cleaned. My vent has 2 bends. This tool is flexible and the 2 bends in the pipe was not a problem. I used 13 rods, 16 feet, worked like a charm. I used a clear 4" container the size of a yogurt container, fits perfect on the vent pipe. I cut a round hole in the bottom of the yogurt container, the size of my shop vac hose and another small hole just bigger than the diameter of the brush rod. Stick brush rod through small hole, attach brush. Stick shop vac hose in larger hole. Secure to wall with duct tape. Open dryer vent flap outside. Use duct tape to hold open. Start up the shop vac and attach drill to the first brush rod making sure your drill is spinning clockwise. Caution: if drill is spinning counter clockwise the rods will unscrew from each other and you will loose the brush and rods in the vent pipe! Start the shop vac. Work the brush back and forth a few times in the vent pipe and watch the lint get sucked into the shop vac. That's why using a clear container is nice so you can see the lint being removed. Continue to add rods one at a time until you reach the outside vent flap. Using a shop vac and 4" container prevents a big mess. This is a simple procedure taking about an hour and saving money is like making money! Have fun!
