Dryer Safety Tips

By


As a company that offers dryer vent cleaning in Minnetonka, we have a few guidelines and tips on how to safely use and maintain your dryer. Taking these suggestions could help keep you and your family safe from a dryer fire.

When you buy a new dryer, make sure it is installed by a professional. And when it needs any repair work done, also hire a professional for this type of work. There are very few do-it-yourself repairs on dryers that are safe for a non-professional to try on their own. Hiring an expert can help ensure your safety and that of your family.

When you use your dryer, never use it without the lint filter in place. This filter helps to catch some of the lint from your clothing and can help keep it from building up in your dryer vent hose.

When you are done drying a load of laundry in your dryer, make sure you clean the lint filter after every use. This only takes a few seconds, and it could save you a lot of time, money and hassle in the long run!

Inspect your dryer vents. They should be made out of a plastic that is rigid but flexible. Look inside of them and see how much lint has built up in there. If there is some lint in there, it’s time to hire us for dryer vent cleaning.

Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and make sure the outdoor vent flap is open when the dryer is being used.

A sure sign that dryer vent cleaning is a necessity for your dryer is when your clothes don’t dry as quickly as they used to. Call on us for our dryer vent cleaning services!
