Dryer Vent Cleaning El Paso states that every year, clothes dryers cause thousands of major residential fires in the U.S. Dryer venting can become clogged with lint, causing a dangerous buildup of heat and an instant fire that spreads fast throughout the house.
Clean out the dryer vent at least once per year
A venting system should be cleaned out from inside of the dryer to the outside vent cap at least once per year. Professionals can be hired for this or homeowners can purchase a long brush or cleaning kit with instructional DVD to do it on their own and save money.
Homeowners should pay attention to drying time. If it’s taking longer than one cycle for clothes to dry, it’s likely that lint is clogging the vent system. Homeowners should clean it out as soon as possible. Waiting to do this will threaten your safety.
Is your dryer running too hot? Place the underside of you forearm on the top of the dryer while its running. If its too hot to leave your arm for more that 10 seconds, you should clean your dryer vent.
White vinyl venting should be replaced immediately with an aluminum equivalent.
White vinyl no longer meets national fire code standards in the U.S., as it is considered highly flammable. Aluminum venting may be purchased at any hardware store.
Clean out your dryer’s lint screen after every load.
Dryer lint screens should be cleaned out after every load. For extra precaution, homeowners can use a bristled long brush to remove stubborn pieces of lint and pieces that collect in the screen’s housing. A screen with tears should be replaced immediately.
