How Often Do You Clean a Lint Filter?
The recommendations you’ve heard are correct – you should clean the lint filter between every batch of clothes. Get into the habit of removing lint from the screen, either before or after every batch. Many new dryers will automatically remind you to check the lint filter before starting up.
If you’re a camping enthusiast, you can keep the dryer lint and turn it into a fire starter. This reduces waste and prevents the need to purchase this basic outdoor survival tool.
