Daaaamn. Well, thank you for your choice of background music in this video. It definitely balanced out the anxiety I was feeling from watching you having to clean up that nasty mess.
You are so right. A daily daily or at least weekly vacuuming out of the top surfaces and the vents would cut down on a lot of the animal hair and dander.
I wouldn't be surprised if something started moving in there 🤣 for real tho, that's the reason you should pre-wash your clothes in a big bucket or something before putting on the washing machine, if you have pets, I mean.
@@inactivelukait ain’t shoved down, think of it this way, back then in the classical periods people wouldn’t put on some caveman music or something it’s just not trendy
This reminds me of a couple my parents were friends with, who couldn't understand why their dishwasher wasn't working, and it turned out that they had never cleaned out the filter where all the food scraps go, and so it was so full of decomposing food that, of course, the dishwasher had given up!! LOL 😅 It's amazing how many people don't realise that you have to clean filters yourself occasionally! I loved watching this (but I wonder why it's so satisfying to watch these sort of videos?? I love watching the carpet cleaning ones too...)
I’m going to work on this dryer thing today!! How often should you clean the dryer duct? I always clean the lint filter but the dryer duct I’m a little bit worried about because I’ve had this dryer for 3 years and I’ve never cleaned the dryer duct… 😬 😳
Having always had long haired pets, I clean the lint trap after each load, and snake both the vent & the hose then vacuum the back of the dryer every couple of months. However, I can honestly say that I’ve never thought about removing the back panel off the dryer and cleaning that out as well. Good gracious there was a lot of hair in there! Thanks for the tip!
Same here. I have 5 cats and a corgi which has fur like huskies! I snake it inside and from the outside vent every couple of months. I of course clean the trap after every use and weekly stick the vac nozzle down into the lint trap. Lucky for me my dryer vent to the outside is a straight piece of pipe, hard to get lint stuck for a build up.
@@ThatGirlJD apparently she has no contact with her animals, ever... they literally walk and sleep on her bed, couches, floor... same stuff her feet, clothing also touch... what a whackadoodle 😂
@@ThatGirlJD it’s quite tedious, but I do it in my bathtub and sun dried outside to kill off germs 🦠 Edit : I know fully it’s weird and it doesn’t make sense
I work in a very busy small animal hospital. We have 2 dryers that are going all day every day. About once a month I pull them out and send the shop vac up the vent and as far as it will go and into the back of the dryer. I should probably try to figure out how to take the back off and clean the inside but I also don’t want to mess it up.
Amd that's what I would expect in any animal hospital! How can it be soooo dirty behind? Like I know it can get dirty very quickly, I am in school to become a vet nurse, but it's in the assistants and nurses job description that we have to clean behind the drier every few weeks. And if we see that there's a problem, we try to find it first, and not call a professional who will work for hundreds of dollars! That's ridiculous
@@norarenatahidas3061😂 oh God you can tell you haven't been ground down by the corporate machine yet. I hope you keep your sense of duty as you progress in your career, genuinely
Love that your job as a repair person is just cleaning. My electrician friend says he often goes to peoples houses just to flick a switch back on. Same vibe
I had to watch this several times to get the whole picture!! The first couple of times I watched it, my brain couldn’t process what I was looking at!!!😮😮😮😮
Even coaching the traps lint first still manages to get through, the tattoos are meant to only catch a certain percentage. If they caught all the point that wouldn't allow air to pass through and would not allow clothes to dry. Animal hair is even worse than regular lint and since this was from an animal clinic a lot of animal hair made it through. Every dryer that is used even moderately should be maintained and cleaned thoroughly about once every 6 months to prevent build up within the machine and vent
It also didn't help that the dryer vent went up through the roof. Better to have the dryer vent going horizontally to an outside vent. Best is if the dryer is placed next to an outside wall so there is less than a foot of distance for the lint to travel.
I used to work as a kennel attendant and it was my job to do the laundry for all of the Vet staff and animals and the amount of hair that was produced from this laundry was ridiculous but I would always try to vacuum the laundry area and I would vacuum the washer and dryer and behind them as much as I could because when you see that much hair and you’re looking at a dryer(a flammable machine) you do the best you can but every Vet clinic I’ve worked at goes through washers and dryers at least every two years or so because they just get abused they end up dying. If you’re a washer or dryer than the one person you do not want buying you is somebody who owns a vet clinic or anything to do with animals honestly
Amen I work in clinics as a tech and my God washer and driers seriously are absued in this field. Even industrial washer/driers can't handle our profession😂
Well has an appliance specialist for many, many years. I will note one thing to you in one thing only! I guarantee you 100% of every dryer that is ever blocked up has a flexible hose. Or a bend in the pipe before it exits the house! The exhaust on a dryer is meant to go straight out the back and directly to the outside. That is the reason why the exhaust port on the back of the dryer faces directly away from the appliance itself. The other fact of the matter is that people use dryer sheets and fabric. Soft oftener!both have sticky chemicals that are applied , which act as a glue. That is the reason why dryer balls were created in the first place. For future reference never use any chemical additives to your dryer. And one last thing , make sure that your actual glint trap on your dryer gets washed out with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly every three months. This will reduce the amount of blockage that happens in an exhaust pipe for a dryer by 95%! Yes 95%! 😉
@@JoeA1974 there are plenty of products made during the silent generation that are still perfectly functional after a few squirts of WD-40, hence why I said what I said ☺️
Yep, it should serve as a cautionary tale for other businesses, and also for regular homes. Like, “Don’t let your dryer vents get this bad, because it could cause a fire and burn your business/house down!!
