Why once a year
“Failure to clean” was the leading factor in US home clothes dryer fires from 2018 to 2020 (31%), according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Its earlier study found dryer fires are more common in fall and winter, peaking in January. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises cleaning the vent and exhaust duct periodically, and replacing plastic or foil accordion duct with rigid or semi-rigid metal duct.
Ontario does not publish dryer-fire figures online; the US data above is the best public measure.
Signs your vent needs it now: clothes take longer than one cycle to dry, the laundry room gets hot, the outside flap doesn’t open when the dryer runs, or lint collects around the outside hood.
What’s included

- The full run brushed and vacuumed from both ends with rotary brushes.
- The lint-trap cavity inside the dryer vacuumed.
- The outside hood and flap cleared and tested.
- Airflow checked at the outside hood before and after, with photos.
