I use a long narrow brush for mine but mine is all in clear view. I know some people use their vacuum hose for it also. Hope that helps.

This may help if your outlet is outside. Take a leaf blower to the inside lint hose, have someone at the exit. You might have tape the blower to the hose. Turn it on then off a couple of times. Keep checking to make sure all the lint is out.

I find that as long as I clean the screen with each load, and change the corrugated expandable 4" hose twice a year, never a problem. I also use a long brush made for that purpose, and a strong vacuum hose.

You can remove the screen holder by unscrewing two screws. It then becomes easier to clean the inside with the vacuum cleaner.

some responses have been very good, including the one above, but I'm still looking for any other possible solutions.

I have pulled my dryer out, unplug it, use a clean toilet brush and clean in from the back and in from the front. You will pull lots of lint from the inside of dryer. Also clean your vent inside and outside. I also wash the lint screen with soap and a brush, by keeping it clean, your clothes will dry faster with more air flow. Remmeber with electricty to always disconnect. As my husband tells me and tells "Safety is no Accident". Good luck.

My boss actually used a plumbing "snake' to go through the dryer vent to get the built up lint out. Worked like a charm!
