Why dryer vent cleaning matters
- Reduces the risk of dryer fires caused by lint buildup
- Improves dryer efficiency and reduces drying time
- Can lower energy use
- Helps extend the life of your dryer
- Reduces moisture and lint buildup
- Helps protect your home and family
Fire safety: Lint is flammable, and a clogged vent traps heat. Keeping the vent clear is one of the simplest ways to reduce the risk of a dryer fire. Tip: If your clothes take more than one cycle to dry, the vent is often the problem, not the dryer.
