Dryer Vent Cleaning

This weekend, I noticed that my clothes dryer was taking forever to dry my laundry. My coworker heard me complaining about it on Monday morning, and told me to call AdvantaClean because I probably needed my dryer vent cleaned. She also explained that clogged dryer vents are fire hazards. I’m sure glad I listened to her advice!” C.P. – AdvantaClean Customer

Clogged dryer vents can be costly to a home or business in several ways. Most people clean their lint trap after every load of laundry; however, lint also accumulates in the ductwork between your dryer and where the hose vents to the outside.

When a dryer vent is clogged, it forces the dryer to work harder. This can cause:

Increased energy consumption
Accelerated thermostat failure
Reduction of the lifespan of your appliance

Dryer vent cleaning can also reduce the risk of fire. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 15,500 fires associated with clothes dryers occur annually. That’s nearly 40 a day!

Standard dryer vent cleaning involves:

Unhooking the dryer
Cleaning the interior of the dryer where lint might be trapped
Cleaning the connection between the dryer and vent system
Cleaning the vent duct
Checking connections

The vent, hose and ductwork should be cleaned or at least inspected once a year.
