I have an apt bldg that needs some dryer ducts cleaned.
I was told by one company they used high pressure, didn't say how much
pressure, air to
blow out the duct (some are 20 ft) I have never heard of
that....how much pressure would they use?
Seems like a rotating brush would be better

But the air is easier. You might try a leafblower. Take the outside
covers off. Use a brush at the outside ends.

20 ft, DIY, a brushing, then air sounds best. Just air I guess will
leave all residue build up. But air is cheapest for a hack.

Just hope no one tries to use any type of brush if the pipe is that foil
type crap.

yes you can use brush and air pressure but I believe you would do better
with long hose and good vacuum cleaner and no brush

Think cat.

Shaggy ones work best.

An sudden air blast would do a quick job of it. I guess that would
involve removing the ductowork from the dryer first and making sure
nobody was at the other end when the blast came through. A garden
hose works well--rubberband a wad of rags on the end and
twist-and-pull back and forth--no purchasing a special brush and the
hose goes a long distance and around turns.
