Cleaning a dryer duct isn't difficult. Remove lint from the duct by hand and then vacuum the inside of the duct. Use hose extensions, if available, to vacuum out as much of the duct as you can. Go outside the house and remove the exterior vent cover.

Improper venting of a dryer typically results in moisture being deposited in various areas of the room. Moist air serves as a breeding ground for mold-and-mildew when it condenses on different surfaces. You want to exhaust the warm air outside the home rather than indoors to properly vent your dryer.

Exhaust from gas dryers must be vented outside because it contains carbon monoxide. Outdoor dryer vents, on the other hand, are suitable for dryers with any power source. This style runs through an external wall, ending in a dryer vent cap outside of your home.
