This absolutely works! I had no idea mine was even clogged, because I clear the filter after every load of laundry. To test it, I took the filter, and tried to run a soft stream of water through it, and the water floated on the top. After scrubbing it, the water just runs right through. My dryer time dropped in half of where it had gotten to. Great tip!

When I am filling the washer and switched the load in the washer to the dryer, I dip my hand into the water and then swip the lint tray, makes it much easier to catch it, flip it in the trash basket.

Good tips! Here's a link for a dryer vent cleaning tool, great way to prevent a fire & give yourself a little reassurance. I ordred mine today!

RE: Ways to Extend Dryer Life
You'd be surprised at how many homes have been destroyed by dryers, especially by letting a dryer run while away from home. Make sure you not only clean out your lint trap, also disconnect the hose at the back of your dryer and thoroughly clean that out. When we owned our own home I regularly removed the lint trap on the back of the house and kept that free from lint as well.
