The only PROPER way to remove lint is to pull the washer! If you saw what I pulled out of both the vent hose AND the rubber boot between the back side and the drum you would agree 100%.
Yep, been there, done that. If neglected for a long time it can get nasty. In the early years we discovered that when the clothes took too long to dry it was time to clean the unit. But pulling the unit, taking the top off, removing that rubber boot and cleaning everything was a pain. So to eliminate that problem we started cleaning ours once a month using the Splendide recommended method (and adding vinegar) and never again had to pull the machine out to clean that rubber boot.
