Yes.

Yes, I clean my filter after every load of laundry.......

Filterers should be cleaned after every full cycle use especialy if situated in door of dryer

Yes I do.  ... and the one leading to the great outdoors.  If that one is plugged up the dryer won't work and too much lint can cause a fire.

No but now that you mention it i think i should, i believe it can cause a fire as well as burn up electricity..

Of course. That is common sense

Every day I check it and if it needs it, it's cleaned.

Not me . I have to go to laundromat to do laundry! Our septic system can  not handle all the water from a washer.

That's a total bummer. I hated going to the laundromat.

yes.. and we save the lint in a ziplock bag for fire starter when we camp of make a fire outside.

More often than I check for lint in my bellybutton!

I don't own a clothes dryer, but I do know that you need to clean them out after every load.

Yes, you always clean the lint filter after every load.

Yes I do, after every load. I also clean the shutter where the hot air exits the vent. Poor air flow = poor drying.

No I wait until the damn house burns down and let the Fire Marshall do it.

every time. thank you.

yes I do but I rarely use the dryer as its exspencive to run due to the high electricty bills and also I belive in trying to help the enviroment!

We dry our clothes in fresh air on a rope in the garden, but I understand that in the USA these are considered as ' flags of poverty '. In Oz, most people have a device in their yard called a ' Hills Hoist' to dry their laundy. An export opportunity perhaps?

Yes! Doolittle's are a bit fire-phobic

I dont have clothes dryer, either put them on clothes line in garden, or on clothes stands indoors, during bad weather. To make sure they are dry, put them on radiator .

To answer truthfully to your question.......No i don't clean it every time i use the dryer,maybe every 2nd or 3rd time.

Yessssssssss   you   clean it out.............If that is tooooo much work , come up with a self cleaning way  for everyone.............
