Safety Tips to Prevent Dryer Vent Fires
Keeping the lint filter clean on a regular basis
The most common causes of dryer fires are lint and dust. They get accumulated inside the dryer cavity. Lint filter is something which cannot be overlooked. Before and after every drying cycle, the lint filter should be cleaned. Equally important is never to run a dryer without a lint filter, which may result in tremendous build-up of lint inside the dryer vent.
Never overload the dryer
A common mistake that most individuals make and end up paying a hefty price is they overload the dryer with clothes to save time. Overloading the dryer means more lint build-up and lack of proper ventilation. This may result in overheating of the drying machine and can cause fire. In order to avoid malfunctioning, downtime, and higher repair costs, it is important to keep the laundry loads organized and not put everything into the dryer all at once. Splitting the laundry into two or three cycles will definitely help prevent any breakdowns from happening and also increase the longevity of the dryer.
Check the air exhaust pipes for blockages
Lint accumulates inside the vent pipes and hoses as well. This may pose a serious challenge and threat. Clogged vents mean restricted air flow, which may result in overheating and cause a fire outbreak. It is best to get those air exhaust pipes professionally inspected for clogging or blockages. For the dryer to function effectively, the exhaust air needs to escape through the pipes properly.
Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint is a flammable material made up of cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, or any other fibers that are bundled together. Lint fire caused due to a dryer vent is a bigger disaster than you can imagine. Even accumulation of a small amount of lint inside the vent duct can trigger a combustion resulting in huge loss of life and property. Dryer vent fire is a real risk that both home and commercial property owners need to be protected against.
The dryer vent is located behind the dryer. It carries both lint and moisture along its entire length and eliminates them outside the home or commercial premises. The main function of the vent is to release the hot air, moisture, and excessive heat outside in order to prevent the risk of fires.
Definitely! Professional cleaning of a dryer vent helps to get rid of the clogged lint due to which the air flow is greatly limited. When the vent is clogged, it requires more time and power to function, which increases the power bills as well. Professional cleaning makes sure that your dryer vent is free from debris and functions efficiently.
