There are a few things you can do to clean the dryer vent in an apartment if it becomes dirty or blocked.

  1. Use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all the dirt and debris that has built up on the vent.
  2. Use a plunger to push all of the liquid detergent and soap down into the crevices of the vent where it will work its magic and clean everything out.
  3. Place a piece of paper towel over the top of the plunger and use your other hand to push and pull until all of the detergent is used up. Be sure not to damage or remove any of the plastic parts of the dryer vent!
