Many
people are surprised to learn about the fire hazards associated with dirty
dryer vents. As you can see in this DryerVentCleaner.com video and according to
the U.S. Fire Administration, 2,900 clothes dryer fires occur each year—often
ignited by accumulated dust, fibers and lint in the vent.
The
following maintenance steps are recommended to keep your dryer working
efficiently and safely:
·Clean
the lint screen after each use
·Make
cleaning your dryer vent an annual routine
·Keep
your dryer from overheating by regularly inspecting the exhaust vent and by removing
built-up lint and debris
A
warning sign your dryer vent may be clogged is your clothes taking longer than
normal to dry. Remember, proper maintenance is the key to preventing dryer
fires!
