Not only does it affect the efficiency of your dryer, but it also puts you and your family at serious risk of a house fire. Over the months of usage, dryer vents get clogged with lint, dust, and other residues that can trigger fires in homes, apartments, and other facilities that use dryers.
Prevent dryer vent fires and improve your home’s air quality.
Depending on usage, it’s recommended to clean your dryer vents at least once a year to remove lint and debris and prevent clogs. Don’t risk a house fire or inefficient drying times.
Statistics from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission estimate that over 15,000 dryer fires occur each year.
Aside from fire hazards, an uncleaned vent restricts and obstructs the dryer performance and airflow to the other end of the vent, which therefore decreases the dryer efficiency and increases the drying time.
Therefore, you should clean your dryer vents at least once a year to remove the lint and debris and prevent clogs!

Cleaning the vent on a regular basis will help ensure that your clothes are being dried in a timely manner and that you aren’t wasting unnecessary energy. Extended drying times can even cause strain on your fabrics. A dryer that continues to run with a clogged vent can cause internal problems that require repairs.
