Dryer lint exhaust cleaning apparatus and method for using

A duct cleaning tool configured for use in combination with a portable airstream appliance to clean a ventilation system of a clothes dryer, the ventilation system comprising ductwork communicating with a lint exhaust of the clothes dryer and extending to a remote discharge location, said duct cleaning tool comprising open proximal and distal ends and an elongated hollow air transfer tube extending between the open proximal and distal ends, and the open proximal end configured to removably connect said duct cleaning tool to the portable airstream appliance, and the open distal end of said duct cleaning tool configured to cover and operatively air-seal an entrance of a screen housing opening at the lint exhaust of the clothes dryer without inserting into the screen housing opening;

• whereby upon connecting said duct cleaning tool to the portable airstream appliance, locating and operatively air-sealing the open distal end of said duct cleaning tool over the screen housing entrance opening of the clothes dryer, and activating the portable airstream appliance, pressurized airflow is generated and directed through said duct cleaning tool, lint exhaust and ventilation system of the clothes dryer, thereby evacuating lint and debris collected inside the ductwork of the ventilation system.
