- Dryer Vent Maintenance Tips from the Wizard:
- The lint trap should be pulled and cleaned after each load of laundry
- Residue can build up on the lint screen over time; it should be washed with soap and water about once a month
- Avoid putting rags soaked with oil, gasoline or other combustible substances into the dryer, even if they have been washed
- All flammable materials and liquids should be stored well away from the clothes dryer
- Order professional dryer vent cleaning and maintenance at least once a year
- Have your dryer duct and vent system inspected to be sure it is up to UL Safety Standards
|
- Do not use vinyl or plastic material for your dryer ducts; use only semi-rigid or solid metal
- Keep the outside vent clean and check it often for blockage or damage
- Proper maintenance of your dryer vent system will keep you safe from a fire, save money on energy bills, and reduce the risk of appliance malfunction or break-down.
- The small service fee for a dryer vent cleaning and inspection is little compared to the savings it offers in preventing a fire and prolonging the life of your dryer.
