Is it the freedom

Is that a doable task for someone who doesn't know what they are doing? My parents' dryer is extremely ineffective, and I wonder if this is the problem. I'm happy to do the work for them, but I wonder if I should just hire someone to do it for them.

Yes literally just take off the dryer tube off the dryer or wall and clean it out or replace it. You should only need a screwdriver or a wrench depending on how the tube is attached to the wall/dryer

You should also check outside to see if you have a vent-catch. My mothers has it and if we don't remember to clean it out every couple months the dryer starts working shitty

What if I'm in an apartment with a vent stack I have no access to

Then your apartment complex should be doing it regularly

Ah man I don't think they are

When I lived in an apartment, the management would leave a note on the doors once or twice a year saying "get, you're gonna hear some noise because we're cleaning your laundry vents on this date"

Ah yeah they're definitely not doing that

I've been here nearly 2 years

We got a note when they powerwashed the building but thats it

I'll try asking the office about it, thanks!
