Do you guys know if you don't remove the lint from the dryer can it really catch on fire?

err yah.. that's what i've heard... you don't want all of that stuff in your dryer anyway.. besides, not too hard to get the lint out. i also was told that plastic tubing is also a no-no for dryer.

It's not usually the stuff in the little tray you pull out from dryer that catches fire--its wads of lint stuck in the air outlet hose that comes out the back. You just have to make sure it's clear every once in a while.

But the REALLY dangerous stuff is the lint that gets stuck in people's heads that stops new ideas from getting in there. That has to be watched very carefully, as it can cause more than fires......

Ha. Something else to watch out for is the inviable residue left on the screen from anti-static things. Hold the screen under water and if the water beads up on the screen you need to blast it with a hose for a few sec to clean it off. :)
