Replace your plastic vinyl dryer hose with one thats rigid or flexible metal duct.

If you were to notice the manufacturer warning label on the back of your dryer, it says to use only metal dryer hose to connect to your dryer vent. This includes changing out the metal foil dryer hose as these contain paper. Why DIY or hardware stores stock these dangerous dryer hoses is beyond belief. The white vinyl dryer hose has a tendency to trap lint and won’t contain a fire in the event that one happens. Cleaner Windows carries exceptional replacement products for your plastic and vinyl dryer hose/duct.

*Remember – Never leave your clothes dryer unattended.

You must never leave your house or even go to sleep with the clothes dryer on. In the event that anything does occur, you won’t be able to react fast enough.

Don’t keep clothing or other combustible things around or on your clothes dryer that could help the spread of a fire if one does arise. In addition, be sure to read any warning signs on the inside of the dryer’s lid.

In recent years, the cost of utilities has skyrocketed. With the costs of oil and subsequently electricity, showing no sign of ever going back to levels we enjoyed pre-9/11, learning to manage and control costs when and where we can, is extremely important. One way to do exactly that is to reduce or eliminate waste. Many people aren’t aware of the fact that something as seemingly minor (though it’s anything but) as a clogged dryer vent can cost them hundreds of dollars each year in electricity. One very simple and effective way to reduce utilities costs is to have them cleaned.

Cleaning Your Dryer Vent Can Save You $25 Each Month

Many people spend an extra $25 a month for their utilities and don’t even know that they are doing so. When a dryer’s vents become clogged, it requires additional power to make it run. Over the course of a year, this adds to about $300 a year. In economic times where every dollar counts, this is a pretty big deal. Twenty-five dollars could buy about 7 gallons of gasoline or dinner for a few nights. Simply carrying out dryer vent cleaning can yield the big savings, effectively plugging up a money leak.

Avoid the Risk of Fire – Clean Your Dryer Vent

Each year 15,000 fires are started as a result of blocked dryer vents. These fires sometimes result in an incredible amount of damage and even death. They can, however, be avoided. Having the vents cleaned annually or whenever there is evidence that they are clogged will help a person do the aforementioned. Evidence of a blocked dryer vents generally include the following, the buildup of lint on the back of the dryer, a hot and human laundry room, lint on the clothing and clothes requiring more than one cycle to dry. If the vents haven’t been cleaned in the last year, arrangements need to be made to have them cleaned. Whenever the damper on the exhaust termination barely opens up when the dryer is on, this is also evidence that the dryer vents need to be cleaned. In addition to the safety aspect of clean dryer vents, there is also a financial one. It is possible for individuals to save about $300 each year on their utility bill, which is a pretty significant amount. Financial savings and improved safety are the two of the various reasons why people should be sure to have their dryer vents cleaned at least annually and/or whenever it is deemed necessary. Doing so could end up saving an individual’s life or the lives of his or her family.
