Can someone explain step-by-step how to clean a dryer vent? What do professionals do, how long does it take, and is there any prep work needed for the apartment or house?
When I had this cleaning done, I was surprised how quickly and mess-free it was. No special preparation was required, other than easy access to the dryer. I think a lot depends on how thoroughly the technicians explain what they're doing.
When I started looking for information about dryer vent cleaning, the price was the main concern, and then I found a helpful article on how much does vent cleaning cost . It explains in detail what determines the cost of the service and why it can vary from house to house. It became clear that the price is determined not just by the visit itself, but by the length of the duct, the level of contamination, and the difficulty of access. After that, I stopped perceiving the cost as something abstract. In my case, the amount was quite reasonable and corresponded to the scope of the work. Now I understand exactly what I'm paying for and don't feel like I'm being ripped off.
