Did you know lint buildup deep inside your dryer is a leading cause of house fires? 😱

This easy-to-use attachment from Amazon connects to standard vacuums to clear out hidden lint regular vacuums miss, and it’s on sale!

Here’s why it’s important to clean your dryer thoroughly:

Dryer Lint removed by Lint Lizard

According to the U.S. Fire Administration:

  • 2,900 dryer fires are reported each year, causing an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property losses.
  • Failure to clean the dryer is the leading cause of dryer fires.
  • More dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.

Talk about a hazard! Angela got hers professionally cleaned, and just look at the before and after photos:

before and after lint cleaning

I purchased this dryer vent cleaner last year after having my dryer vent system professionally cleaned and learning about the risk of dryer fires. I have always been diligent about cleaning out my dryer lint by hand before every new load I toss in, BUT I was always frustrated about the lint that I could not reach and remove.

This was an affordable and super easy solution for me since it simply attaches to my vacuum cleaner hose (I use a central vac system) and quickly removes the excess lint by sucking it right out and into my vacuum system.

It is also a great attachment to use when vacuuming hard-to-reach areas in your home (like small cracks/under the fridge, sofa, etc.) and/or in your car (under the seats). I would say that the only downfall is that the tube is so bendable/flexible that sometimes it can be hard to point it in the right direction, but the newer version seems to have fixed that problem! 👏

It’s an ideal tool for keeping the house safe between professional cleanings, and a no-brainer to scoop up while it’s so cheap!


Still not convinced? Here’s what Consumer Reports says about a similar dryer vent cleaner:

What they checked:

“In one dryer, we collected and weighed the lint removed by each of three methods we tried in succession. First, we took apart ductwork and removed lint by reaching into nooks and crannies with our hands. Then we used a vacuum cleaner and crevice tool. Then we used the Lint Lizard. In a second dryer, we simply compared the amount of lint collected by a vacuum cleaner plus crevice tool with the haul collected by Lint Lizard.”

Their verdict: 

It’s almost like a magic wand! Our reaching hands removed 8 grams of lint; a vacuum cleaner and crevice tool managed to suck up another 4 grams. And the Lint Lizard? Another 15 grams. In the second dryer, a crevice tool and vacuum cleaner removed just 0.3 grams of lint, after which Lint Lizard gulped 52 grams.

Drawbacks: The Lizard’s sharply angled tip and curved hose made it miss a bit of lint in some nooks and on some surfaces, and it may not fit into very narrow openings in some dryers. Its sharp tip could also harm plastic ductwork (but it’s best to have metal dryer ducts).”

    Thank you for posting this – I had no idea this was even needed! Got one today and our VACUUM CANISTER WAS FULL. All from just under the lint trap and I had never seen it all down there! We religiously cleaned the lint trap each time so this is wild.
