The lint trap and screen on an LG dryer. Stray lint, sand and other debris end up packing down into the bottom of the lint trap, beneath the screen, and keep it from properly seating. Then the top corners protrude, and snag strings and laces on clothes.
The extension nozzle on a hand vacuum won't go in. You can't get the right angle, it's too wide, and it's not long enough to reach to the bottom anyway.
TA-DA!!! An AARDVARK NOZZLE made from $10 worth of plumbing parts easily reaches all the way down to the bottom of the filter slot.
(Please ignore the mess and clutter next to the dryer. It's just something I have to endure.)
