>find out dryer duct cleaning service is a thing
>they charge like $80 minimum
>a new one from a hardware store is like $40-60
So what's stopping me from making a "cleaning" service where I just swap them out or stick a shop vac in them and be done in 15 minutes? Or is this one of those services that exist but no one falls for?

Just a quick googlifyin

>Dryer duct cleaning services generally do not require a specialized state-level license in most locations, but they often require a local business license and, in some cases, specialized certifications like the Certified Dryer Exhaust Technician (CDET) to ensure safety. While not always mandatory, having certifications and liability insurance is highly recommended.

You intend to beat the competition by blowing $40-60 more than them on every single job? Genius. And for that reason I am out.

And what's your plan if the dryer duct extends like 20 feet into the walls or attic? Demo half the house so you can replace the vent with one of those cheapo flexi vents?

This is why I bought one of them vent-less dryers that use heatpumps to recondense the water vapor and pump it into the same drain as the washer. You're not getting my hard earned shekels.

the elites don’t want you to know this but drying at home is free just hang the laundry on a washing line

I 100% believe it.
Gas dryers sold new all the way up to the late 80s were built in a way that they would burst into flames because of excessive lint buildup in the hose. Like your house burn to the ground from it.

People do this. There are drill attachments that are large brushes which corkscrews all the shit out. It can get really fucking compact and that shit is extremely combustible. I keep some for fire starter.
