Lint is extremely flammable. Somewhere in your dryer a lint screen is missing, and lint is blowing where it should not.
You are very fortunate it has not yet found an ignition source and torched off. Please look at this asap. It is a real hazard for you and your home.

PS: cool lint control solution, but it is not a cure.
