The process of cleaning the dryer ductwork involves using a rotating brush attached with fiberglass rods to remove lint and debris.
The rotating brush is inserted into the external dryer duct opening until it reaches the inside of the laundry room and then it is cleaned from the laundry room duct to the outside. In other words, both ends of the ductwork are cleaned with the rotating brush.
The transition duct and the exterior dryer vent cap are properly reinstalled after the cleaning. If no repairs are necessary, the whole process takes about an hour.
