All of the various ducts in your home are capable of becoming clogged, allowing contaminants that are supposed to be carried away from your home to mix with the oxygen in your residence. Unfortunately what that means is that if your dryer duct needs a cleaning, you may be introducing harmful compounds such as dust and mold into your home without realizing it. Dryer duct cleaning as well as dryer vent cleaning are both necessary to keeping the quality of air in your home at its best. The EPA estimates that indoor air pollution is between 2 and 5 times more harmful than outdoor air pollution, and something needs to be done. Professional dryer vent cleaning and dryer duct cleaning may just be the solution that you need for this problem.
Did you know that dryer vent and dryer duct fires are now considered to be one of the top causes for residential fires in the United States? Because dryer ducts and dryer vents are out of sight, it can become easy to forget about them and the cleaning and maintenance tasks associated with them. A lint trap in your dryer is only capable of stopping approximately 80 percent of the lint, meaning that 20 percent of the lint is clogging up your dryer exhaust system, depleting the quality of the air in your home and putting your home in serious risk of catching on fire.
Dryer duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning are not very difficult tasks when you know how to be safe about how your dryer works. When in doubt, you should always feel confident consulting a professional dryer vent cleaning service to help you keep your home in the best possible shape. There are also plenty of things that you can do on your own, such as making sure that your lint trap is clean and free of rips so that your trap will catch as much lint as possible. If the lint in your lint trap is wet, then dryer vent cleaning is going to be necessary. You should also clean the lint trap once a week with dish washing liquid.
You should also make sure to visually expect your vent hood which is on the side of your home. Do this while the dryer is actually on and functioning properly. Are you feeling air flow, and are the flaps moving as they should? If something seems amiss, you should have your dryer inspected and should inquire about professional dryer vent cleaning as well. The same is true if your clothes are taking longer than normal to dry. This could very well be a sign that professional dryer vent cleaning is in order because the exhaust system is no longer functioning as it should. If your dryer is ejecting lint and you are finding lint on the floor in the home, the next logical step is an inspection of your dryer as well as professional dryer vent cleaning.
