Dryer Vent Lint Cleaning And Fall Maintenance
Dryer vent lint causes over 15,000 house fires each year
. These fires are easily preventable with regular maintenance to remove lint build-up from inside the dryer and dryer vent system. Here are some dryer maintenance tips to help prevent dryer related fires:Clean the lint screen or filter before or after each load of laundry
Make sure your dryer vent system meets city, state and manufacturers safety codes
Replace plastic or flexible foil systems with semi-rigid or sold metal material
Keep the dryer lint screen clean and wash it every few months with soap and water to remove residue from fabric softener sheets
Have professional dryer vent lint cleaning done each year
Dont store combustibles, chemical cleaning products or chemical soaked rags near your clothes dryer or other gas appliances
Do not leave the house or go to sleep when the dryer is running
Check the dryer vent outside often for lint build up, blockage, damage or freezing
Professional dryer vent lint cleaning is recommended annually. A professional dryer vent cleaning service will also clean the interior of the clothes dryer chassis and inspect the belts and rollers for wear. Worn belts can cause the drum to become unbalanced and rub against other parts, causing the dryer to throw sparks which can easily ignite lint that is built up in the dryer vent system. This is one example of how a dryer fire starts.
Dryer vent lint cleaning removes the fuel for a dryer fire so the dryer does throw a spark, there is nothing to ignite, as long as you have a solid metal dryer vent tube. The plastic or vinyl could catch fire from sparks. This is why manufacturers and building codes do not allow plastic or vinyl for a dryer vent system.
