A clogged dryer vent is more than an inconvenience—it’s a fire hazard. Lint buildup restricts airflow, making your dryer work harder and increasing the risk of overheating. Regular maintenance keeps your dryer running efficiently and your home safe.
Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning:
🔹Clothes take longer to dry
🔹Excessive heat around the dryer
🔹Burning smell when running
🔹Lint buildup around the vent opening
🔹Increased energy bills
Benefits of Keeping Your Dryer Vent Clean:
🔹 Prevents Fires – Lint is highly flammable. Cleaning reduces fire risk.
🔹 Improves Efficiency – A clear vent lets your dryer work faster, saving time and energy.
🔹 Extends Dryer Lifespan – Less strain on the motor means fewer repairs and a longer-lasting appliance.
🔹 Reduces Energy Costs – A clogged vent forces your dryer to run longer, increasing electricity use.
How Often Should You Clean Your Vent?
🔹 At least once a year for most homes.
🔹 Every 6 months if you do heavy laundry loads.
🔹 Immediately if you notice performance issues.
