Hair Dryer Smells Burnt, Clean It Out Easy.

If the hair dryer is smelling like it’s burning every time you turn it on, it’s time to clean it out. Dust and lint get trapped in the back screen over time. Once that happens, it can clog the hair dryer from working properly. Cleaning it out can prevent the dryer from catching fire or burning out the fan and motor.

Remove the Lint

Trying to pick the link out the back can be tedious and difficult to do with your fingertips. However, it’s easy to remove lint from the back of the dryer with a simple trick, and that simple trick can prevent a major disaster.

The Power of the Cotton Swab

Cotton swabs in the home are usually used to clean out your ears or help with makeup techniques. However, the cotton swap is a magic-like tool when cleaning the hair dryer.

First, remove the back plastic on the hair dryer if it’s removable to expose the screen completely. If it’s not possible to remove the screen cap, it’s okay, you can work around it.

Next, use a clean dry cotton swab around the screen or in between the blades. The dry cotton will sweep up the lint like a professional cleaner.

Then, flip the swab to the clean side, and wipe the area again to remove any excess.

Finally, put the dryer back together and give it a test run. It should run as good as new.

Final Thoughts

Cleaning the screen every month will improve the long-term integrity of the small appliance.

Also, if the dryer still smells like it’s burning or if it is making any strange noises after cleaning, it might have something more going on than a simple lint clog. Unfortunately, that is usually the time to invest in a new hair dryer.
