Excess Pet Hair on Clothing

How Pet Hair Buildup Affects Drying Performance

We love our furry friends—but not the pet hair left behind on freshly dried clothes.

Excess pet hair can quickly accumulate in your dryer vent, reducing airflow and creating potential hazards. If you're still finding cat or dog hair on your laundry after a drying cycle, your vent system may not be functioning properly. Dryer Vent Ninjas can help with professional vent cleaning that keeps pet hair where it belongs—and off your clothes.

How to Fix Excess Pet Hair on Clothing

If cleaning your lint trap after each load doesn’t help remove the pet hair, schedule a Dryer Vent Wizard expert to perform a professional inspection and cleaning.

Is my dryer a potential fire hazard?

Unfortunately, dryers are a common cause of home fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, on average, a dryer related fire occurs every 37 minutes in the U.S. Many of these could have been avoided by regular maintenance and cleaning of the vent line.

Does a clogged dryer vent impact the air quality in my home?

Yes, it can.

When dryer vents become clogged with lint, dust, and debris, they trap hot, humid air inside the system instead of venting it outside. This buildup can lead to mold and mildew growth—potentially affecting indoor air quality and causing respiratory issues, especially for those with asthma or allergies. In gas dryers, blockages may also result in dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, posing a serious safety hazard.

Can cleaning your dryer vent help reduce energy usage?

Your clothes dryer is one of the highest energy-consuming appliances in your home—accounting for around 6% of total electricity use.

When vents are clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing the dryer to work harder and use more energy per load. Clearing out that lint not only boosts efficiency but also helps extend the life of your dryer by reducing strain. In fact, improved performance from a clean vent can save you up to $300 a year on energy costs..

Why is vent cleaning essential for gas dryers?

Gas dryers produce carbon monoxide as part of the combustion process.

If the vent becomes clogged, this dangerous gas can back up into your home instead of being safely exhausted outside. Regular dryer vent cleaning is essential to maintain proper airflow, ensure safe operation, and help prevent carbon monoxide exposure.

Why is dryer vent maintenance important for controlling home humidity?

During a typical drying cycle, your dryer removes up to a gallon of moisture from your laundry.

That moisture, along with warm air and lint, travels through the vent system to be released outside. When the vent is clogged, it traps heat and humidity indoors—raising your home’s moisture levels. Regular dryer vent cleaning not only reduces fire risk, but also helps keep indoor humidity in check, creating a more comfortable environment for your family.

Does cleaning your dryer vent reduce environmental impact?

Regular dryer vent cleaning offers key benefits like improved energy efficiency, fewer unexpected (and expensive) breakdowns, and reduced release of lint and debris into your home and the environment.
