The flexi pipe does accumulate additional fluff but quite easily cleaned. In 14 years I have "swept" the fixed pipework once, when the initial dryer gave up after 10 years. I simply pulled a large duster through the pipe. There was remarkably little accumulation. Have to say that the creeper on the outside wall seems to thrive with the moist warm air that it receives!
