Why should you clean your dryer vents? w/ Customary Professionals

 “Should I even bother to clean the dryer vents?”

Most of you tend to wash and doesn’t even notice the dryer vents. I mean, we get it, these things are out of sight, out of mind. It turns out, dryer vents need cleaning too—and for good purposes. The short answer for that is for safety but there are a lot of reasons to do so.

For that, here’s why you should clean your dryer vents (and hire professionals to do so).

1. To prevent accidental electrical fires.

Too much clog in vents can build up heat and eventually cause fire. Because of this, the hot air cannot pass as efficiently as it could and this creates the temperature for your fire. Dry lint is definitely a flame hazard and will surely set your machine or worse, your house, ablaze. According to U.S. Fire Administration, this negligence is one of the leading causes of home fires.

2. Save more bill on electricity

A clog can also affect the performance of your dryers. With too much build up of lint on the vents, it will take you more time to dry your clothes and thus, waste electricity for unnecessary heat.

3. Maintenance for your dryer/appliance

The longer you wait for cleaning your clogged vents, the more heat will build up causing damages to your appliances. This will most likely affect the overall performance of your dryers and will eventually need a replacement. As early as now, take a quick check up on your dryer vents.

3. The vent gets noticeably hotter than normal

This is usually caused by a clog vent. Immediately (or after using), unplug the dryer and have a cleaning service come to get your dryer cleaned up. As the vent releases more heat, your electrical bill will shoot up. Moreover, this will also cause a potential fire.

4. You can’t remember the last time you cleaned your vent
