Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you both.

You were not aware that your dryer vent needs cleaning on an annual or semi-annual basis? Especially if your dryer is not on an outside wall and is vented through the roof?

We were rather ignorant when we first moved here about living here and maintenance that needed to be done.

This was one of the first things we learned

. Truth be told, dryer vents are the same everywhere. They all need cleaning, not just in the Villages.

It seems in The Villages there are 5 vent cleaners for every resident. Since I'm a member in 5-6 Villages Facebook group its a front row seat to all the scammers.

Its good to see a legitimate local business.

Just make sure the vent cleaner is willing to go up and check the vent on the roof. The first two cleaners we hired couldn’t fix the problem, but the third one did. He found that the roof drier vent was completely blocked. Call Jim at 352-801-3902.

We learned the hard way that the drier vent is impossible to fully clean without getting on the roof. The first two cleaners we hired didn’t do that and couldn’t fix our problem. But the 3rd one did - call Jim at 352-801-3902. Notably we paid about the same price for all the visits.

If your dryer vent needs cleaned annually or semi annually you must be doing 50 loads a day and no screen in your dryer.

Your dryer couldn’t have been drying your cloths very well with that kind of a build up. Please everyone, empty the lint filter after every load. I was a Girl Scout leader and used dryer lint to start campfires.

We clean ours every 1.5 years or when it starts taking longer to dry clothes. We do 5 to 7 loads a week because we have that Florida glow from biking, walking, and catching pollen/dust. We also have furry pets.

The lint filter is emptied (almost) every time.

I suppose it depends on what fabrics you use.

I believe they said out went straight out.
