Question about filters for dryer exhaust
« on: November 21, 2014, 01:56:47 AM »
Is there anything like this?
The guys next door to us complaint about the smell coming from our dryer exhaust, especially when we do discharge. unfortunately there is no way for us to run the exhaust through the roof of our shop as we are at the ground floor and have 3 more floors above us. So it has to go out at the side of the shop. And right now the whole exhaist pipe from the dryer to the out side is almost 25 feet long with two 90 degree bends which is the maximum for both as far as I remember.

CCI discharge has a nice smell to it, or you can add a few drops of a Glade plug in style air freshener to any discharge inks to give them your own scent.  That may not make your neighbors any happier though.

You could use the dryer sheet in a toilet paper roll trick.  Not sure where I heard about that one.   ;D

Get a power vent like the unuts on gas water heaters and you can extend the run a bunch.

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES COMPLETELY WITHIN MY CONTROL YOU SHOULD GET YOUR OWN TEE SHIRT AND A SHARPIE MARKER BY NOON TOMORROW OR SIMPLY CALL SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIRT.

you also might be able to add vanilla...haven't tried it, but I know it kills the smell of house paint....anything might help.

I use that trick all the time when painting inside, just a teaspoon or two in a gallon can make the paint smell awesome.
