Spring cleaning may get all the attention, but as summer transitions into fall, it's also a great time to consider cleaning the overlooked areas of your home.
Dryers are one place to start, since according to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), approximately 2,900 house fires are caused by clothes dryers each year. While it’s recommended that people clean their lint trap after each load of laundry, many people aren’t aware that the build-up that occurs in the dryer vent ductwork should also be cleaned at least once a year.
One bestselling Amazon Canada gadget that makes it easy to remove dryer lint is the Holikme Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit. This cleaning tool is a favourite among shoppers, with thousands of five-star reviews to boot.

The Holikme Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit comes with everything you need to remove the excess lint that builds up in hard-to-reach areas of your dryer. Each kit includes one vacuum hose attachment, one 3.5-foot cleaning pipe and a flexible lint brush.
The handy extendible hose attaches to most vacuum models, and allows for easy access to tricky cleaning spots like inside dryer vents, underneath refrigerators, and in tight corners. It can also be used to remove buildup from your exterior dryer vent and avoid costly cleaning services.

Another reviewer found that this cleaning kit improved their dryer's overall efficiency and "made a huge difference in drying time and general air circulation."
In addition to cleaning out dryer vents, reviewers note that the "versatile" nozzle of the cleaning attachment is also helpful for cleaning other areas around the house. One reviewer shared that it's ideal for cleaning the tracks between sliding doors, while another found that it's "perfect for getting down between the radiator sections."
While many reviewers had a positive experience with the Holikme kit easily attaching to all kinds of vacuums, others caution that it makes "a loud whistling noise" while in use.
"Works well, but wear ear protection," reads one review.
