Kailey Bradley was sitting at Christmas breakfast with her family in Scott County, Tenn., when her sister Delaney Neal mentioned that she had to dry her clothes for three cycles before they were completely done, so Kailey's husband, Rane, turned to and asked, “Have you cleaned out your lint trap in a while?”

Immediately the family headed over to Delaney's and when Rane took the back off the dryer to explain how to clean out the lint, what he saw left them all shocked.
“We couldn’t believe my sister’s house hadn’t caught fire with the amount of lint in her dryer,” Kailey, 31, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “The amount shown in the video isn’t even half of what came out of the back of it.”
"We are in a family of four sisters, we are pretty ditzy, and stuff like this happens all the time," she adds. "Thankfully we have praying parents."
After the incident, Delaney threw away all the lint. Kailey says she hopes this serves as a reminder to her sister — and to everyone else — to clean their lint traps.
“You too can prevent dryer fires by checking your lint trap regularly,” she says.
