Odds are that the last time you saw the inside of your clothes dryer's exhaust was when you hooked up the dryer.

Why Should You Clean Your Dryer Vents?

1. Fire Hazard
Fatal Fire: Clothes Dryer Could be Culprit

BAYSIDE, Wis., Posted 8:16 am Nov 98 A clothes dryer vent linked to a fire. Investigators suspect that lint accumlating in the dryer vent may have killed the Goldman family. Police Chief Bruce Resnick says it appears a load of clothing was placed in the dryer before the family went to bed. Lint build-up can cause airflow, which in turn causes overheating. When this happens the high temperature limit safety switch cycles on and off. Most switches weren’t designed to cycle on and off continuously which can cause them to fail. The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates that there are an estimated annual 15,500 fires, 10 deaths and 310 injuries associated with clothes dryer. Also over$84,000,000 in property damage. Accumulation of lint and reduced exhaust airflow provide conditions ripe for a fire. Lint is highly combustible. Lint is also one of the main ingredients in a recipefor home-made fire starters. If you have an order home you might have a duct system that is not up to specs for your dryer.

2. Dryer Performance
Proper airflow can decrease drying time, thus decreasing operating costs. It helps the dryer to operate effeciently, which can extend the life of the dryer. An extra bonus is that clothes will dry at lower temperatures and in less time. This will help to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on clothing, thus extending their life.

Almost Everyone With a Dryer! Especially those homes with dryers located on inside walls, or those located on the second floor laundry rooms. These centralized locations cause dryers to be vented greater distances, up to or over 50 feet. Resulting in lint buildup and other obstructions which can seriously affect the performance of dryers. Most of the dryer manufacturers recommend the yearly delinting of dryer vents, for the dryer to work at it’s maximum efficiency. People living in older homes probably have a system that was for an older dryer, thus when they replace the old dryer with a newer model the ducts may not be up to the new dryer’s specs.

Some things to look for that might indicate that your dryer is not working to it’s maximum effeciency.
