If your clothes are coming out of the dryer a little damp, it could be a sign that your dryer needs to be deep-cleaned. But you don’t have to hire a professional; Amazon has a solution for $11, down from $20.
It’s the Sealegend Dryer Vent Cleaner kit, and it’ll be shipped to you for free if you have Amazon Prime,. Not a member yet? Not a problem. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial by clicking here. (By the way, even if you don’t have Prime, you can still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
This kit is intended to be used in conjunction with a vacuum cleaner to suck out all of the lint and debris that your lint screen did not capture. Yes, it can extract fiber fragments that have been lodged inside your machine for years! Once you’ve removed all of the gunk, your clothes will dry faster, saving you energy and money.

What comes in the kit
This is a three-part set. It includes a hose, an adapter, and a guide wire. The hose is 33 inches long and extra narrow, allowing you to reach deep into your dryer. The adapter connects the hose to your vacuum tube (it does not work with robot vacuums). The guide wire connects to the end of the hose and aids in pushing the hose into the nooks and crannies of your dryer.
How it works
Remove the lint screen from your dryer once the hose is connected to your vacuum. Then, with the help of the guide wire, insert the end of the hose into the slot and turn on your vacuum. Finally, run the vacuum while moving the hose inside the dryer — you should notice your vacuum filling up with lint.
