Cleaning the dryer vent is not hard do a search for "dryer lint trap
brush" for the tool.

Befor you do that I would try cleaning the lint trap with warm soapy
water and a toothbrush. Dryer sheets leave a fill that builds up over
time and decreases air flow. That may be your problem

Yes, some of them can. We used to use the Acme store brand of dryer
sheets but the lint filters were clogging (and, as it turned out, the
screen on the vent on the roof!). So my wife remembered that the dryer
(GE) came with some dryer sheets - Bounce brand. So we started using
them instead and the lint filter stays clean.... go figure.. But
I'm not arguing.

YMMV,

Bob
