How often do you clean the lint trap in your dryer?

Question

Every load for me......think it cuts down on the drying time, don't you?

Answer 1

well, not every load, but every weekend.

Answer 2

After every load. That's really important. Because if you never clean the lint out, that can eventually cause damage to the dryer and your clothes do dry faster

Answer 3

After each load is good. It cuts down on the dryer time because the air can circulate properly. It's also a good idea to rinse the filter under warm water every week. Fabric softener sheets leave a residue on the filters that can block the air flow. I tried it and it actually works.

Answer 4

Every load because I think the same thing that you do it cuts down drying time.

Answer 5

Because of the size of my wash loads, I clean the lint trap after two loads. When I combine my wash with my moms, I clean it after each load.

Answer 6

Every single time after taking the clothes out. A clogged lint trp adds to the drying time and costs.

Answer 7

i clean it every load, too.....i do think it cuts down on drying time and also, it will help to get the lint off the clothes you are drying...

Answer 8

After every load. Not only do you help the performance of the dryer, you save energy and cut down on risks of fire.

Answer 9

Clean it after every load. Once a week vacumn the opening that the link trap goes in. This will keep it in good repair.

Answer 10

every load or 2- depends on what you dried. blackets and towels will make more lit. have dryer cleaned/serviced once a year as lint also escapes into dryer case aqnd could cause fire.

Answer 11
