You can use a dryer vent brush, a compressed air can or a compressed water cleaner (if you have one in your house) to clean the tube.
Any long object can also unclog a tube out & out. After cleaning, hang the tube with a rope to dry it. If you can unclog the tube it will work perfectly for up to three or four months.
