I ran into the same concerns last year after noticing my clothes were taking forever to dry. Turns out, the vent was clogged with lint, and I had no idea how dangerous that could be. A clogged dryer vent not only increases your utility bills but also significantly raises the risk of a fire. After doing some research and speaking with a few neighbors, I decided to go with a professional service that specializes in dryer vent cleaning in Richmond Hill. They had the right equipment and did a thorough job — much better than anything I could have done on my own. Now I schedule it once a year, and everything runs smoothly. Definitely worth it for peace of mind.
