In case, you find that your locks have accumulated some lint and dust with time, you can anytime wash them with a residue-free shampoo. However, a natural way of eliminating the build-up is to apply apple-cider and vinegar. You can then rinse them with water for clean dreadlocks.

Another important thing is, when you wash your locks with a residue-free shampoo, it is advisable to let them dry naturally or to towel dry them. In case you become irritated over the pieces of towel that can often break off into your dreadlocks, it is best for you to use lint-free towels or the micro-fiber towel. Using a hair dryer would only damage and weaken your locks and is not recommended at all.
