Sometimes it is a little more obvious than other to visually see the airflow. In our case we could see the little pieces of lint that were stuck around the edge moving from the airflow. In the occurrence that you do not have air flow coming out then you would need to check for obstructions in the venting. There is a tool included to help break through and pull out the blockage.
A Large 2.5" Diameter Lint Brush with an exceptional 42" reach to get all the way to the bottom of your lint trap. Use it to clean under appliances, baseboard heating vents or any other hard to reach areas. The Dryer Vent Cleaning System also includes a Vacuum Adapter. The Vacuum Adapter will allow you to use the air from your dryer, or a shop vacuum/blower to completely remove lint from the vent while rotary brushing.

Adding the additional rods as you go keeps the rods nice and sturdy. Once you start cleaning the venting keep the speed to a low steady speed and always spin in a clockwise direction. When you have reached the end of the venting you are going to continue with the clockwise direction but just while pulling the brush back out. Be careful as lint debris will most likely be blowing out of the vent as you remove the LintEater system. Repeat the process until you feel that you have gotten the venting completely clean.
Now it is time to determine what type of venting is connected to the dryer exhaust. When cleaning the vinyl or the aluminum venting you will need to just run the drill at a lower setting so that you do not damage the venting. It is rather simple to verify the type of venting by placing the end of an included LintEater rod into the vent and tapping. If you hear a dull thud you have aluminum or vinyl venting and if you hear a positive metal on metal sound you have the rigid venting pipes. The Large 2.5″ Diameter LintEater Lint Brush in conjunction with one 36’’ rod will give you an exceptional 42″ reach to get all the way to the bottom of your lint trap.
