How Do You Properly Clean A Dryer Lint Trap?
Every once in awhile a good thorough cleaning is in order for your dryer lint trap. If its left dirty and not given a good cleaning every so often it can cause your dryer to use twenty to thirty percent more energy! So why not take five minutes to clean it out real good? Take the lint trap out of the dryer like you normally do. Now remove the lint either with a damp cloth, a used fabric softener sheet or wet your fingers and scoop it up. Now you can either vacuum the mesh part with the brush attachment. Or you can rinse the whole lint trap in the sink with liquid dish soap. No matter what you choose to do in step two, make sure you use a damp cloth on the plastic edges of the lint trap. Make sure you use a small amount of liquid dish soap on the cloth.
