4 Essential Dryer Vent Cleaning Tools

The importance of duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning equipment has been explored extensively before. In the previous blog, some tools were laid out that are specialized in accessing hard-to-reach areas in a dryer vent. However, what are some fundamental tools that every contractor must have? In this blog, Heat Seal Equipment Ltd. addresses 4 such tools.

 

Important Dryer Vent Cleaning Tools

 

Dryer Vent Vacuum

 

Much like a duct cleaning vacuum, a dryer vent vacuum is responsible for removing dust, lint and debris caked in the vents. A high-powered vacuum is a perfect choice for this particular application.

 

Long And Robust Brushes

 

The dryer vent cleaning process involves using special solvents on the vents. Once the debris is coated in this chemical, contractors use a long and durable brush with multiple bristles to thoroughly scrub off the caked materials. Hence, this tool is also a must and one should always go for industrial-grade brushes.

 

Nylon Rod With Removable Attachments

 

Numerous brushes are used as dryer vent cleaning equipment, including nylon rod brushes. These comprise a strong rod with a removable head where different types of brushes can be attached as per requirement. For instance, a soft plastic bristle brush can be used for gentle cleaning and strong steel brushes for a deep scrub.

 

Powerful Air Compressor

 

There are some cases where the lint and dust present in the dryer vent can react negatively to cleaning solvents and brushes. In such cases, a powerful air compressor acts as a perfect contingency plan. Attached with a skipper ball and skipper lines, the air compressor can send out powerful gusts of air to remove the caked debris without directly coming in contact with the contaminants.
