How often should dryer vents be cleaned?

Once a year for typical households. Twice a year for homes with pets, large families, or vent runs longer than 25 feet. The signs to watch for are dry times creeping up and the dryer running hotter than normal — both mean the vent is restricting airflow.

Can I just clean it myself with a brush from the hardware store?

You can do a partial job from one end with a 10-foot brush. The full vent run is usually 15–30 feet with elbows, and the lint past the first elbow needs rotary brushing with vacuum collection to get clean. We do the full run plus the lint screen frame, which is where most house fires actually start.
