Seeking Advice on Blowdryer Lint

Hi. I was wondering if anybody is really able to remove the lint from blowdryers. I've tried different things that people had suggested, but nothing really works. I usually resort to pulling the lint out with tweezers, but that takes too much time and effort. I'd love to hear your ideas.
Thank you,
S.

What can I do next?

We actually had a blowdryer catch fire when my kids were small (thank god my hubby was paying attention and pulled the plug asap). Now I'm a fanatic about getting the lint out. I use damp cotton swabs to do the trick. Works like a charm and is fast and easy.

I have a blow dryer that has a removable cap. But it still gets full of lint so I use the q-tip trick too!! It works great!

Dear S.,

I have done hair for many years and I use a brush and just loosen the lint by brushing back and forth over the vent. Once the lint is loosened it comes out easily. If you don't take the lint out the blowdryer will burn out much faster.

tweezer!?

Listen, I have a revlon, it was like 20 bucks or less.

the back end of it comes off.
then revealing the mesh netting.

I take a hair brush,( soft bristled) and brush away the lint.
or if your doesn't come off, take an old tooth brush commence to brushing it clean.!

to be honest,
