Diane, How about just reventing the dryer. :) If you had something that had massive suction on it or something that would blow really hard you might be able to clear it, but water pressure would just make things worse. You cold try the old pantyhose attached to the dryer vent and just empty it every now & then. LOL I know i'm not any help. I'll ask my dh.
