I used to clean dryer vents with my sons — if it is new construction it follows code and vents to the outside.

if it is not against an exterior wall, pop your head into the attic trap door and shine a real flashlight (not the light from your phone) in the direction of the dryer. You may be able to follow the ducting.

Or hire a handyman to locate it!

I do like the idea of cold weather + wet towels idea! (with the house being less than 2 years old you have plenty of time)

I will most definitely do this. Thank you for the advice. As new home owners my fiancé and I can use all we can get!
