Linteater Dryer Vent Cleaning Kit Is An Affordable Way To Clean Your Vent Cleaning out your dryer vent is one of your most important home maintenance tasks. If you allow the lint and dust in your dryer vent to accumulate, a spark from your drier could cause this debris to ignite. This can lead to a deadly and damaging house fire. Periodically cleaning out your vents is an easy way to prevent this disaster from ever occurring. There are many services that will go to your home and clean out your dryer vents for you. If you are on a tight budget and do not want to pay a service to clean out your dryer vent, one alternative is to use Linteater. Linteater is a dryer vent cleaning system, and the junior system comes with flexible rods, a rotating brush for cleaning the dryer lint trap, and an auger brush for cleaning the vent itself. The junior system can clean vents up to six feet long. The ten piece system contains the basics of the junior system as well as a blockage removal tool, more flexible rods, a vacuum cleaner adapter for easy lint removal, and an instructional DVD. The flexible rods contained in both kits allow you to clean your dryer vent, even if it curves. The ten piece Linteater system can clean a vent of up to twelve feet. If your vent is longer than this, you can buy extra rods to extend the auger brush's reach. The Linteater system can be reused, so you can use it periodically in order to keep your vents safe and clean. This system can also be used to clean under appliances, baseboard heaters, gutter downspouts, and pellet stove vents. The Linteater system will quickly become one of your family's most useful tools. Wayne Herr of VentSmart dryer vent cleaning of Tampa Bay states that he has used the kit and is satisfied that it does what it advertises. However, Herr emphasizes that Linteater is not a perfect product. It does not go in reverse so it is not as effective at removing lint as a professional service. Additionally, you will still need to manually clean the vent exit in order to remove lint that the brush cannot reach. Herr stated that removing the lint at the exit is an important part of the process, as all the lint should be removed for safety reasons. However, cleaning the vent exit manually requires only a minimum of effort. *********************************************************************************************************** Publishing Guidelines: Permission is granted to publish this article electronically in free only publications, as long as the resource box is included without any modifications.
