For many people, home drying systems are just part of the furniture. Failing to cleaning your deryer vent can put both your dryer system and your home at risk, and may even put you in danger too. If you skip your dryer vent cleaning, there are a few key things that could happen.

Carbon Monoxide Exposure

If you are using a gas dryer, you must be careful about dryer vent cleaning. The reason behind this is because gas dryers produce carbon monoxide (a colorless, odorless gas) that’s lethal in high concentrations. When large amounts of lint accumulate inside the gas dryer's vent, all of that debris can prevent carbon monoxide from exiting the vent as it should.

The carbon monoxide then builds up inside the vent, and since it has nowhere else to go, it will begin accumulating inside of whatever room your dryer lives in. If you want to reduce your likelihood of being exposed to high concentrations of carbon monoxide, the solution is quite simple: Ensure dryer vent cleaning once a year.

Dryer Fires

How often do you pull a blanket of lint out of your dryer’s lint trap after you finish a load of laundry? Daily? Right. Only a fraction of the lint produced by each load of laundry ends up in the lint trap. Plenty of highly flammable lint gets past that trap, and it ends up in your dryer vent.

If you don’t want your home to be one of the houses that suffer dangerous dryer fire each year, regular vent cleaning is very important.

Reducing Dryer Efficiency

Decrease in your home dryer’s efficiency, are just expensive, but that’s not exactly desirable either. When you put your wet clothing and linens in the dryer, they will end up drying much more slowly since they are surrounded by the moisture that should be exiting through the dryer vent. The dryer must then operate longer than normal to get your things dry, which will increase your energy bills. Ultimately, a clogged, inefficient dryer will burn out long before it should, which will add one more expense to your plate.

Consider getting your dryer cleaned after six months. With top quality dryer vent cleaning tools, you can easily do this more frequently, every three months, to potentially avoid the expense of having to pay a professional dryer cleaner to come in.
