Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent! This past summer, the lint trap broke on our dryer. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What disaster. Someone came out to fix our dryer, but told us we would probably need to get out a shop vac to get the lint out of the vents. Still, wet clothes, three weeks later. I decided to look for someone on amazon. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock as well as a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!
