Now that spring is in full swing, it's the perfect time to give your home a thorough cleaning. And while some areas of the house are more obvious, don't forget to add your dryer's vents to your list.

According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), approximately 2,900 house fires are caused by clothes dryers each year. While it’s recommended that people clean their lint trap after each load of laundry, many people aren’t aware that the build-up that occurs in the dryer vent ductwork should also be cleaned at least once a year.

To help tackle this often-forgotten area of your home, the Sealegend Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit is on sale now at Amazon Canada.

What is it?

The Sealegend Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit comes with everything you need to remove the excess lint that builds up in hard-to-reach areas of your dryer. Each kit includes one vacuum hose attachment, one 2.6-foot cleaning pipe and a flexible lint brush.

The handy extendible hose attaches to most vacuum models, and allows for easy access to tricky cleaning spots like inside dryer vents, underneath refrigerators and in tight corners. It can also be used to remove buildup from your exterior dryer vent and avoid costly cleaning services.

What people are saying

As Amazon's best-selling vacuum hose, the Sealegend dryer vent kit has earned thousands of rave reviews from shoppers. It currently has a 4.2-star rating and has become top choice among shoppers, with reviewers calling it their "most worthwhile purchase."

One reviewer found that their dryer runs "so much more efficiently" after being thoroughly cleaned of excess lint. They add that it also "dries way faster since the airway is clear."

Another shopper calls the cleaning kit a "must-have" as the hose attachment "keeps the dust and debris from getting blown around" while you clean.

It "[does a] super job of removing hidden lint," writes one customer.

While many reviewers had a positive experience with the Sealegend kit, other caution it "doesn’t work in all dryers." Some found the cleaning head to be "too big" to fit into their dryer's vent, so you may want to check your dryer's dimensions before ordering one of these cleaning kits.
