When your dryer stinks of cigarettes and no one you know in your household smokes, it’s time to get to the bottom of things. Time to clean that sucker.

Ugh! Not looking forward to the mess, but it’s gotta be done. Don’t want a dryer fire on my hands that’s for sure.

I hope it’s an easy fix and just needs some cleaning. I definitely don’t have the budget for a new dryer. Ugh!!!!!!

Wish me luck!
