Household Chores - Clean The Lint Out Of The Dryer

Saturday I had a great time helping my son. He is putting in a dream bathroom. It looks like it came out of a magazine. He did all the tile work himself. He asked me to help him. I was bucket girl. He grouted and I dumped the buckets of black, grimy water. In between dumping buckets, I did all his wash and put it away. I vacuumed his whole house, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen.

I a love doing things for my kids. They both work very hard and I happy to run to their house on a moment's notice when they call.

Sunday I went back over to help him again. I noticed his freezer was really caked up with hard ice, so I defrosted his freezer and put everything back in in a nice organized way so he knows what he has. He made us lunch and I did the dishes and another load of laundry.

I have been helping him do his laundry for several years and I noticed the dryer takes longer and longer to dry. Usually you have to run it twice until everything is dried. I emptied his lint trap as I always do, and then I noticed there was some lint hanging on the rubber trim at the bottom of the dryer door. I reached there to clean it off and then I noticed the whole door was filled with lint. I stuck my hand up and pulled bunches and bunches of lint out of the door.

Then I looked under the lint trap and pulled bunches and bunches of lint out of the front of the dryer. I could not believe all the lint piles. Then I got the vacuum and spent at least 15 minutes vacuuming the door and the front of the dryer. I filled the clear bin to the top, and dumped it and turned it on again.

I am sure this hidden lint has really been a problem all along and I am glad I discovered it. I am sure it could be a possible fire hazard as well. I can't wait to do a load of wash and see if the dyer works much better. I think it will definitely save him money on his electric bill.
