Dryer lint is a byproduct of the clothes drying process. It is made up of tiny fibers, threads, and other particles that are stripped from clothing during the tumbling and heat of the dryer. These particles collect in the dryer's lint trap and can also build up inside the dryer's ventilation system over time, reducing the efficiency of the dryer and potentially posing a fire hazard.

It is recommended to clean the dryer lint trap after every other use to ensure proper airflow and prevent fire hazards. A buildup of lint can reduce the efficiency of the dryer and increase the risk of a fire. It's also important to periodically check the venting system and clean it if necessary, as lint can build up in the ductwork over time.
