Clothes Dryer Lint Filters...
They exist. They are there for a reason. They must be cleaned out.
Did someone forget to publish these facts in the modern human handbook?

Um, it’s 2020. Some might interpret that as sexist.
Besides, you can easily make fire starters with all the lint from your navel.

Easier, this way you won’t have to hear her nag about starting the fire when she is cooking dinner.

Most of my clothes are bespoke and are dry cleaned, so I'm a bit lost on what the issue is here.

All jokes aside, wife dropped something into the filter housing, so the other month I had to take the back of the drier off to get to it....
Granted, it had been 20 years, but HOLY SHIT was there ever a shitload of lint! And we (she) cleans the filter all the time. I would recommend opening the lint filter housing and cleaning it out at least every five years. Lint fires are real.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

The rental a couple houses over was being remodeled for sale after the most recent renters had been booted. I was talking to the owner and ended up getting a tour of the house. He was going through all the shit he had to fix, and as the pièce de résistance, he showed me the lint he'd pulled from the dryer filter. It was hundreds of thin layers packed into a 3" thick lint brick. He was keeping it as evidence in his court case against the renters.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

My last dryer was about 15 yrs old and started to catch fire, fortunately I just happened to notice at just the right time. I wouldn't be typing this if we had been running the dryer later that night while we were sleeping. Don't run the dryer when you are sleeping. And mine is a gas dryer. I shut the dryer off, unplugged it, shut off the gas, unhooked that, and my son and I hauled the smoldering thing outside pretty damn quick. Extremely Lucky. So ya, clean out your dryer.

Agreed 100%. I had the pleasure of tearing apart our old dryer to fix the belt recently and was shocked at how much lint had worked it's way into the inner workings of the machine. The motor had a layer of loose, probably super flammable lint on it. Scary tbh.

dryer lint should be the new green energy source
soak it in used cooking oil and it becomes fuel for that steam powered horseless carriage that all the hipsters are rolling these dayswatch out for snakes

Everyone knows about the dryer filter.
Now ask yourself when was the last time you cleaned your dishwasher filter.
