Accumulation of lint, crimped or clogged dryer vents, or vents made from outdated ribbed material are a fire hazard.
Over one-third of every dryer vent fire is caused by lint.
Regular cleaning of the lint from the trap, while a critical practice, is not sufficient to prevent fires, as lint can be blown past the trap and into the vent itself where it can be overheated.
According to theNFPA, the first thing to ignite in a dryer fire is dust, lint, and clothing, in that order.

Why?
Most people don't know their dryer vents need to be cleaned.
They clean out their lint filter now and then and think that's it.
But the dryer vent duct is where lint can really build up and get clogged, and lint is highly flammable, accounting for dryer vent fires.
Lint build-up also results in using more energy (and money) to dry your clothes.
If your dryer isn't drying your clothes like it used to, you may not need a new dryer!
A lot of people have no idea how important it is to make sure that their dryer vents are properly cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
A frequent duct cleaning is not only a good way to make sure that your dryer continues functioning efficiently, it is also necessary to reduce the risks associated with a clogged vent such as having to replace the heating element in the dryer or even possibly a fire.
