Beyond the screen: the slot behind the lint trap.
The lint screen catches most lint, but some slips past into the housing. Cleaning the slot, the screen and the housing keeps air flowing from the very start.
- Cleans: Screen, slot and housing
- Method: Wash, vacuum and brush
What it is, and why it matters.
The lint screen can also build up a film from fabric softener and dryer sheets that blocks airflow even when the screen looks clean. And lint falls into the trap slot where you cannot see it.
We wash the screen, clean the slot with a long vacuum attachment and brush and show you how to keep it clear between visits. It is a small job that pairs well with a vent cleaning.

Lint Trap and Housing Cleaning: common questions
Is emptying the lint screen enough?
It is essential after every load, but lint still reaches the vent, and a film can build up on the screen.
How do I check my screen for film?
Run water on it. If water beads or pools instead of passing through, a film is blocking the mesh.
