Many factors will determine HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD CLEAN YOUR DRYER vents like the number of loads of laundry you do, pets that shed, paper, and hair. The configuration of the dryer vent's length and the number of turns is also a factor.
In general, The Lint King recommends annual cleaning, including a dryer airway cleaning. Just as we humans get a little backed up, so can your dryer. Worst case, you should have the vent cleaned and dryer airway cleaned at least every two years!
The exception would be a case with one bald person, no pets, and a maximum of two loads per week. In this scenario, a three-to-five-year service cycle is acceptable. Remember, repeating a drying cycle is a sign of a clogged vent pipe.
Every day here at The Lint King, we get customers that say, "THEY NEVER KNEW THEY NEED TO GET THE DRYER VENT CLEANED." Just because the dryer seems to be working fine is not a good reason to put off cleaning it.

A dryer vent clogs up over time due to the build-up of lint and other debris in the dryer's airways. There're many reasons why a clothes dryer vent becomes clogged, and we've listed some of the most common below.
Today's modern laundry room can found almost anywhere, creating very long and complicated runs with several bends in the home's dryer ventilation system. This scenario means dryer vents tend to generate more backpressure, and the drying time increases.
Longer dryer vent tubing will cause dryer lint to collect more rapidly than a system with shorter runs and minimal turns. The maximum suggested length for a dryer vent is 25 feet. But, because of the bends, we need to subtract 5 feet for 90-degree turns. 45-degree dryer vent turn is preferred because they deduct only 2.5 feet of the max dryer length.
