Are you Cleaning your Dryer Vents?

Even if you are extremely careful about cleaning lint out of your dryer catch there is still some lint that will get through that and end up in the machine and the vent.  If you are lucky your vent will have a secondary catch that acts very similarly to the catch inside of the dryer itself.  If you don't you might want to look into getting one installed, they are relatively inexpensive and can make vent cleaning an easier and less frequent task.


Regular dryer and dryer vent maintenance is an absolute must to keep your home safe against fires.  On top of being safe it will also allow your dryer to work more easily since air flow will not be blocked by any debris.

It doesn't matter if it is summer or winter, dryer maintenance can be performed at any time of year.  It is more important for you to pick a month, or a specific date every year where you will have your vents cleaned.
