Maintenance To Operate Efficiently

Dryer vent cleaning and appliance maintenance: All major appliances require some regular maintenance in order to operate efficiently. Failure to properly maintain appliances increases their chances of breaking down, or causes them to labor or work harder to perform their task. This leads to increased energy bills and a chance of an appliance repair or replacement bill. When dryer vent cleaning and maintenance is neglected, there is yet another danger; a clothes dryer fire.

Here are some items you should know about clothes dryers and dryer vent systems:

• 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, damage or freezing
