Dryer Vent Cleaning Vacuum Attachment

[autowasherfreak]

I saw this in the Collections Etc. catalog, and I'm going to order one this week. It's only $9.99.

I use a brush for refrigerator coils......after brushing thoroughly...I turn the machine on to blow out all the loose lint....but nothing compares to removing the front panel and cleaning out the blower wheel, and all the duct work...not to mention all the dust/lint build-up under the drum and around the motor and heating element

lint in the duct work = poor drying results

lint near the element/gas burner = dryer fire

I think I could accomplish the same thing using the crevice tool on my Kirby.

The crevice tool on our vacuum cleaner (Miele) is too short and too fat to fit between the coils of our refrigerator and down the hole of the lint filter on our dryer.
This looks like it may work for us.

Keep us posted when yours arrives and let us know how you like it.

I also saw a flexible crevice tool, that I would like to try as well. The set on Collections Etc. got mixed reviews, some liked it some didn't.

I have a set of computer cleaning tools that fit a standard vac wand. I'll have to give that a try on the dryer.
