Did you know that thousands of structural fires occur every year due to clothes dryers?
It is estimated that those fires incur more than one hundred million dollars of property loss each
yearalong with deaths and injuries. The most common cause of dryer fires is a clogged dryer vent.
This problem can be totally prevented with proper and regular cleaning.
What is Dryer Vent Cleaning?
Every homeowner should be aware of the last time their dryer vent was cleaned out. When you hire a professional to take care of dryer vent cleaning, you can rest assured that they will remove the lint and
other debris that could become jammed in the venting system and lead to fires.
At MAC, we utilize special tools and equipment to force air inside your dryer vent, carefully cleaning out
your venting system without leaving any mess behind. When you call MAC, We will check out your dryer
and provide you with a safe dryer vent cleaning service plan.
How Often to Clean a Dryer Vent?
Depending on how often you use your dryer, youll want to have your dryer vent cleaned and carefully inspected once every three to twelve months. Larger households that do at least one or two loads of
aundry each day should schedule periodic inspections to determine how long they should go between
dryer vent cleanings. If you do laundry less frequently, scheduling dryer vent cleaning once a year is most
likely sufficient.
Remember: Even when you clean your lint trap regularly, not all the lint from your laundry is removed. In
act, only about 25 percent of the lint from your clothes is collected by the lint trap you slide out of
the front of your dryer. That means the rest is building up in the dryer vent system, restricting airflow and
causing your dryer to work harder. As a result, you may start paying more on monthly energy bills and be
at risk of a fire. Know how often to clean your dryer vent, and stick to a maintenance plan!
