Honestly, the only thing you have to do...let's say after every two or three loads is pull out the filter and pull off the lint and throw it out. It's fairly easy. And I've had my dryer for 9 years now. That's all you do...why what did you think?:)

To clean out the lint trap on the top of the dryer, you can buy a lint brush to make the job easier.
However, a proper cleaning should be done every 2 or 3 years. There is usually a panel in the back or side of the dryer that can be removed. This will alow you to remove lint from the thermostat (or ignitor if it's a gas dryer). You can use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to do this. Just make sure to unplug the power suply cord before you do this.

After just pulling the lint off the trap, if you want to go a step further, you can actually use a vacuum with a special attachment to vacuum the lint hole in the dryer.

Just pull out the lint trap after each drying cycle and wipe clean. There is also a lint hatch kit available at Linens n Things that has long arm brushes to get further into the trap.

you should take them out and remove the visible lint. Once a month or so (depending on how many loads per week are run through your drier) you should run warm water through it and then set it aside to air-dry thoroughly before putting it back in. That helps take off the build up of fabric softener residue and such.
