HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CLOGGED DRYER VENT

What happens here

Take the vacuum adapter (or 'Dryer Blower') from the LintEater kit. This adapter is designed to fit over the end of the dryer vent hose. If necessary, use the reducer for smaller vacuum hoses. Since the brush rod will pass through this adapter, remove the cap from the adapter. Fit the vacuum adapter onto one end of the flexible dryer vent hose. Use painter's tape to secure the adapter to the hose, ensuring a tight seal to maximize vacuum suction. Connect the vacuum hose (e.g., from a shop vac) to the vacuum adapter, also securing it with tape for an airtight connection.

Goal: Prepare the flexible dryer vent hose for simultaneous brushing and vacuuming.
