Dryer Vent Cleaning

Why Should I Have My Clothes Dryer Vent Cleaned?

Do your clothes take longer than 30-45 minutes to dry for a normal load?

Does your clothes dryer get hot to the touch while it is running?

There is probably nothing wrong with your dryer! It's your dryer vent that is probably clogged and needs to be cleaned! There are several great reasons to have your dryer vent cleaned:

• A clothes dryer can catch fire. (The Consumer Product Safety Commision says that in the United States in the year 2000, there were 12,700 clothes dryer fires resulting in $99,400,000.00 in damages, 330 injuries and 20 fatalities. A clogged dryer vent adds to the risk since the lint is highly flammable and the reduction of air flow increases many risks.)
• Save on your utility bill with reduced drying time.
• Replace your dryer less often.
• Reduce wear and tear on your clothes.
• Free up time to spend on activities other than tending the laundry.

How often should I have my clothes dryer vent cleaned?

There are several factors to consider when trying to determine how often to have your dryer vent cleaned. The factors to be considered include how many loads of laundry the dryer handles. Also, the type of laundry dried influences the frequency of need for dryer vent cleaning. If lots of lint producing items, such as diapers or towels are dried the dryer vent needs to be cleaned more frequently.

The length and number of turns of the dryer venting is an important consideration in determining the frequency of duct cleanings. Every turn in the duct gives more opportunity for the build up of lint and the longer the run the more probability of lint build up in the duct. Ultimately, the best way to determine the need for a dryer duct cleaning is to monitor the drying time of typical loads. Whenever the loads take longer than 30-45 minutes to thoroughly dry, it is time to clean out the duct.
