Dryer Vent Cleaning and Fire Prevention Tips from the Santa Rosa Wizard

April 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Santa Rosa, CA:  Dryer vent cleaning is recommended annually to eliminate a fire hazard and reduce wear and tear on your clothes dryer.  Failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer related fires.  Some insurance companies in the US are starting to require dryer vent inspections to be sure dryer vent systems are installed safely.

Over 15,000 dryer fires are reported each year.  Most are a result of neglected maintenance; however, there are other causes that consumers should be aware of.  

Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, advises all her customers to clean dryer vents periodically to eliminate a fire hazard.  “Poorly installed dryer vent systems can also be a fire hazard,” said Nole.  “If the dyer duct is too long, then the clothes dryer will labor extra hard to push the hot air to the dryer vent outside.  When air flow is slowed down or restricted, the system becomes overheated and becomes a fire hazard.”

Rhonda also advises her customers to be careful what they store around the clothes dryer.  “Boxes, cleaning supplies, and flammable substances will provide fuel to feed a fire if one should start.  Rags soaked in gas, oil, paint thinner or other flammable liquids can ignite from the heat in the dryer.  They should be line-dried, even if they have been washed first.  Some flammable residue can remain.”

Dryer vent cleaning is the number one way to prevent dryer fires.  Dryer vent cleaning is recommended at least once a year.  Never go to sleep or leave the house when the dryer is running.  Visit http://www.dryerventwizard.com to learn more.
