During National Fire Prevention Month in October, franchisees are encouraged to update their blogs and write new articles to inform the public of the dangers that could be lurking in their laundry room.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration over 15,000 dryer fires occur annually, causing death, injury and property damage. “Failure to clean dryer vents” was citied as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings.

In joining efforts with the NFPA for Fire Prevention month Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard of Charlotte is providing the following advice to consumers to reduce the risk of dryer fires.

• Make sure your dryer vent system meets current safety standards
• Replace all plastic or flexible foil dryer vent tubes with semi-rigid or solid metal venting.
• Clean the lint screen after every load of laundry
• Wash lint screens with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners.
• Order dryer vent cleaning and dryer vent inspections annually
• Do not store combustibles like chemical cleaning products or chemical laden rags near dryers.

Warning signs of a clogged dryer vent system include clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, clothes being hot to the touch after a dry cycle, clothes have a moldy smell when removed from the dryer, the top of the dryer is hot to the touch or the dryer repeatedly shutting off during the dry cycle. “All of these symptoms indicate a blockage in air-flow,” said Lavalle. “Your clothes dryer will last a very long time if the dryer vent system is properly maintained. None of these are indications that your clothes dryer is worn out. Dryer vent cleaning and dryer vent repair cures most dryer malfunctions.”

Dryer Vent Cleaning Derry Wizard Provides Fire Prevention and Money Saving Tips

Charlotte, NC – Dryer vent cleaning promotes maximum dryer performance to prevent fires and save energy. Clothes dryers are among the most expensive appliances to operate. Since there is no such thing as an energy star clothes dryer, it is important to properly maintain the appliance to keep it operating efficiently.

Poorly vented dryers can increase energy costs by up to $300 per year. When lint buildup in dryer ducts is left unchecked, the dryer works overtime to get laundry dry. As drying time increases, so does energy usage. Eventually, the overworked dryer overheats and causes a fire.

Dave Lavalle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Mecklenburg County advises all his customers that dryer vent cleaning is necessary appliance maintenance. “The most common sign that you need you dryer vent cleaned is when drying time increases,” said Lavalle. “Contrary to popular belief, this is not a sign of appliance wear. Even an old clothes dryer will work efficiently if it is getting proper air flow through clean dryer vents.”

Another cause of dryer fires and dryer inefficiency is inferior dryer vent systems. Proper dryer vent installation is critical to dryer safety and efficiency. “Dryer vents should be as short as possible and contain few bends and turns which can inhibit venting and cause lint to build up and clog the vent,” said Lavalle. “Smooth inside is also important. Dryer vent sections should be joined with foil tape instead of sheet metal screws which protrude to the inside, catching and trapping lint.”

Dryer Vent Wizard professionally inspects and cleans clothes dryers and dryer vent systems for homeowners and in commercially-owned buildings. Poorly maintained dryer vents are fire hazards and cause clothes dryers to cost substantially more to operate.
