Importance of Regular Dryer Vent Cleaning

Most people think cleaning their dryer’s lint screen is enough to keep their clothes dryer running efficiently and safely.

The fact is, when airflow is restricted in the dryer vent, lint can back up into the dryer and accumulate around the electronics and heating element. This can create a costly and dangerous situation.

Why you need regular dryer vent cleaning:

• Eliminates fire hazards. Over 15,500 fires occur each year because of washers / dryers, lint build up being the #1 cause
• Reduces drying time by increasing air flow – Saves money on utility bills
• Extends the life of the dryer – Reduces repair cost
• Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning
• Reduces wear and tear on your dryer
• Prevents mold and mildew buildup
• Saves time
• Dryer fresher clothing
• Eliminates bird, and insect nesting

Your dryer vent needs to be cleaned if:

• It takes longer than normal to dry
• Dryer becomes hot to the touch
• Increased utility bills
• Hot/damp clothing after cycle ends
• Birds / critters have used your vent to nest in
• You notice a burning smell
• It’s been over a year since the last cleaning
