What is the best way to clean the dryer lint trap without getting a mouth full of dust?

Answer 1

use a wet towel. The wetness will "trap" the dust..

Answer 2

I don't know why your mouth would be that close to the vent, but anyway, they do have tools to clean the lint traps and also the tubes going out from a dryer. ltd commodities had them, so did Target. They worked well for me.

Answer 3

Clean it while it's running. Mine is on the top of of the dryer. I turn it on first, then clean it & it sucks any floating fuz back in the hole. Yours may not be on the top.
Or you could take a handful of the old lint you already discarded "out of the trash" & place it in the filter on top of the new link, it will stick to it & will ball up easier and have less fly away. Just suggestions. It works for me.

Answer 4

Wear a painters mouth maske available at hardware stores or dampen the lint before you try to remove it.

Answer 5

Don't open your mouth, don't even breathe until you've done the job, and moved away.

Or you can use a dust filter. Or hankerchief.

Answer 6

Use a vacuum cleaner, and keep your mouth in the closed position.

Answer 7

well lets c this could get difficult. well you could just wear a mask or you could go out and chop down this tree and then thin it down then stick a brush at the end and the clean it that way. but i prefer the first one.

Answer 8

damp paper towel will keep the lint dust down. :-)

Answer 9

try useing your hand and putting the lint in the trash!.

Answer 10

A mini-vacuum cleaner would do the job.
