Dryer Vent Cleaning
DRYER VENT CLEANING
Washers and Dryers are under appreciated appliances in most homes or residential facilities. Think about it. We use them regularly, rarely thinking about their maintenance, until something goes wrong. Then we panic at the thought of having to do without them!

DID YOU KNOW?
Dryer vent cleaning is a simple, inexpensive way to help your dryer work efficiently and last longer? Dryer vent cleaning is also a big step in preventing home or business fires!
Clogged and dirty dryer vents are the #1 cause of home fires
The leading cause (32%) of home clothes dryer fires from 2006-2010 was failure to clean!
So, how do I know if my dryer vent needs to be cleaned?
Indications you need to clean your dryer vent:
- Clothes aren’t drying in one cycle or longer than they used to take
- On the outside of the house at the dryer vent, you can’t see the steam or heat escaping the vent
- Clothes are coming out of the dryer too hot and wearing quickly
- On the outside of the house or building, you see an accumulation of debris
- Time! If it’s been more than a year since your last cleaning, it’s time to do it again!
But I clean my lint filter every single time I add a load to my dryer . . .
While an important part of maintaining your dryer, cleaning the lint filter is not the ONLY maintenance necessary. In fact, lint filters only trap 25% of the lint created by drying a load of laundry.
Are you ready to prevent a dryer fire in your home?
Dryer vent cleaning isn’t just for residential homes!
Don’t forget about the importance of commercial dryer vent cleaning!!

If you are frustrated with your clothes taking forever to dry, wearing out quickly or coming out hot to the touch, it’s time to talk to the people in charge and demand they take action!
