It is made of aluminium (I think? or some thin metal) and attached to a plastic pail with a small hole.

If your vacuum has one of those long thin attachments, try using it to suck out the excess lint.

I took the vent loose from the dryer, tied a piece of cloth to monofilament fishing line long enough to reach the outside, shoved it into the vent pipe, held on to one end and put the vent back on. Turned on the drier for a few seconds. Went outside and found the cloth end. Tied a bigger rag on the dryer end of the pipe and pulled it through. Was surprised at how little stuff came out.

in case you finally end up continuously changing the filter out (like as quickly as a month on a 6 month filter out) or if there is loads of airborne dirt and dirt around your place, then it can not be a bad thought. I looked into it for our domicile this is 1200 squareft. They fee consistent with vent with a minimum fee of like $450. They gave me a cost quote of approximately $550 with 12 vents and one return vent. this is with the vents and the ducts being up interior the ceiling. they surely have a fog that they could use (elective) that helps circumvent mould, micro organism, and airborne dirt and dirt mites. i did no longer get the quote with that. besides, it somewhat is costly. and that they checklist duct cleansing as duct/vent cleansing, so i'll declare that it is a similar. good success! desire you get a life like fee!!!!! P.S. i could in basic terms advise which you have this performed if the previous vendors have smoked on your place or in case you have somebody living on your place with extreme hypersensitive reactions.

Take a feather or some other substance duster and dust out the inside and then take the duct outdoors and shake it vigorously. Repeat this then it should be a lot cleaner!
Good Luck

the material is inexpensive, if you think you can handle it, replace the duct.
otherwise take it apart and clean it anyway possible. the lack of cleaning the duct and dryer is the cause of higher utility bills and the cause of fires

I cleaned one useing an electric leaf blower and a snake(the kind for cleaning pipes). It works very nicely and dosen't cost as much as a repair call.

There is a brush kit made just for that.
