About: The Lint Man
How my journey began
My beautiful family! I know, I’m a little biased.
Over days, weeks, and months of hearing our dryer running constantly as it tried to keep up with 3 young kids and additional laundry from pets, the idea started to grow in my head that the lint buildup might be a bad sign and in need of cleaning. Of course we cleaned the dryer filter every time, but I knew lint and dust was getting beyond that flimsy thing.
When I finally took out the filter and looked beyond, I saw the channel completely full of lint and dust. Then I used my phone to look in the vent pipe outside and could see the walls lined with a thick layer of lint. Following some research online, I learned how much of a problem this really was.
- Leading cause of residential fires
- Dryer not working well. (We were double-cycling loads regularly.)
- Higher energy bills as a result
I started buying equipment to get it cleaned out the right way, and continued my research. Once I learned how ignorant I had been, the next question in my head was, “how many other people are like me and need help?”
The Lint Man was born.
Our mission is to educate homeowners and landlords about the importance and urgency of having your dryer vents cleaned regularly. FEMA recommends having your dryer vent line serviced every 3 months for safety and efficiency. To encourage safety and prevention above all else, we offer a reduced price to families and individuals that have their systems repeat serviced before the buildup gets out of hand.
