Especially in our busy society, sometimes we just can't afford to wait hours and take care of a dryer. And for homeowners, leaving their homes with the dryer running is a dangerous situation. Keeping your dryer in peak condition requires cleaning your dryer duct line once a year.
And the number one, most serious reason to clean your dryer vent annually is to prevent a devastating dryer lint fire. If you could look down the vent of a dryer during a fire, here's what you would see. First, part of the vent line is completely clogged with lint. With nowhere for the heat to go, the lint and metal duct are getting hotter and hotter. Soon the fluff will darken and become more compressed until it actually starts to melt. Finally, an ember ignites and grows higher and higher until a flame is formed. The fire spreads outwards and inwards to the dryer. Then the laundry catches fire in the dryer. After that some of the wires to the dryer catch fire and now there is an electrical fire, one of the worst fires you can have. This is why it is so important to clean the dryer duct annually.
In summary, there are numerous reasons to perform an annual dryer vent cleaning. Whether it's to extend the life of your dryer, dry your clothes faster or prevent a serious fire... it's a worthwhile investment to give you peace of mind, save money and dry your clothes quickly.
