 Hey honey, let's do something fun today. Let's clean out the dryer vent. Probably not something that you'll say at your house today. It's not usually a project on top of a person's list, but it should be. If you use your dryer regularly and depend on it, you should know that dirty and clogged dryer vents are responsible for over 15,000 house fires every year. And if the dirty dryer vent is not trying to burn your house down, it's damaging your dryer's performance and costing you extra energy to dry your clothes.
