Clean Lint From Dryer Ducts

If you're not already cleaning the lint from your dryer ducts, then now might be the time to start. Doing so can help prevent a fire from breaking out in your home since lint is highly flammable. But it'll also help your dryer run more efficiently and, in turn, cut down on your energy costs. You can find the duct to most dryers outside your home, directly behind where your dryer sits inside.
