Regularly cleaning the lint trap on your dryer is a must but in the long run it’s not enough. Through regular use lint travels into the dryer coil and the shaft that leads to the outside vent. Over time this lint builds up leaving little room for ventilation. Your dryer will begin to experience problems and eventually become a serious fire hazard.
