If you are an owner of a dryer machine, you may already know that you need to perform regular cleaning of both the vent and the device itself to prevent lint clogs from creating a potential fire hazard. Flexible, easy to use, and fairly straightforward, it will make clogs disappear within minutes in both the dryer and its ventilation shaft.

So, using duct tape is recommended (especially for cleaning sessions that can take up to 40 minutes or more) to avoid having the rods getting stuck inside the ventilation shaft.Īll in all, despite some minor flaws, this dryer cleaning kit is one of the most affordable pieces of equipment available on the market today. The only real issue lies within the connections themselves - they are not necessarily reliable. The overall length of a fully assembled unit with a brush connected is about 24 feet making this model a great option for both short and long shafts. Likewise, each rod is 24”, making them a better fit for non-standard ventilation lines. Instead of the regular 4 pieces of rods, this particular kit comes with 6 of them to fit different dryer systems better. Without any additional tools, vent cleaning can be a bit challenging but thankfully, you can always opt for an inexpensive yet highly effective cleaning tool designed specifically for that purpose. Since lint clogs can be extremely dangerous from the perspective of fire safety, it is important to deal with them as regularly as possible. Īll things considered, the RLE202 from Gardus is one of the most versatile cleaning kits out there, thanks to its high-quality of build, top-notch synthetic brush, and a great vacuum attachment. The cleaning time will depend on how big of a clog you’ve got in your dryer vent. After just a couple of tries, you will be able to catch and remove all the clogs that may appear in the ventilation shaft over the months that it wasn’t properly cleaned. If powered by a regular drill model, the cleaning process is fairly easy and fast and won’t require a lot of effort on your end.Īs for the other attachments included in the package, the main blockage removal brush can be replaced with a vacuum adapter if you want to blow the lint straight into the vacuuming bag, skipping the lint gathering part outside.Īlthough the whole process may take some time to get used to, it is still a better option than expensive cleaning services that are available today. However, there is one trick with this particular design - you will have to use a counter-clockwise drill so that the rods don’t unscrew during the lint catching process. What is more, the cleaning kit can be connected to the cordless drill in order to make the cleaning process much shorter. The rods themselves can be attached to each other just like screws, thanks to the special connectors at the tip of each piece. The Gardus RLE202 comes equipped with 4 flexible rods that you can use to extend the effective range of the lint eater from 12 to 24 feet.
