21.06.11

 When was the last epoch you cleaned your dryer vent?

“Anyone who is a homeowner should know about dryer safety,” said Joe Welter, a fire inspector with the Buffalo Grove Fire Rely on. Welter advised that the more often a dryer is used, the more often it should be cleaned out.

“Always clean out the lint trap,” he said. “The access panel should be cleaned out semi-annually, if not every thirteen weeks. The vent to the outside can get clogged with lint or animal nests, so it should be cleaned out as well.”

“You don’t want to use any appliance as a storage shelf,” Mass said. “Every appliance needs a space for ventilation, or it could malfunction.”

Welter also advised against tournament the dryer while no one is home. “You could risk having a fire by leaving the dryer running while you run errands,” he said.

“Lots of people don’t net that fires can occur in dryer vents, and that it’s one of the leading causes of fires,” Ron MacFarlane, owner of Only Dryer Vents , said. MacFarlane has been cleaning dryer vents since 2002 and estimates that he has cleaned “almost 5,000 vents” in that at all times.
