Why do I need my dryer vent cleaned?
The
lint is so fine that 1/3 to 1/2 go right through the screen on your dryer. The humidity from the clothes drying cause some
of it to stick to the pipe on its way out. Over time, the duct can completely fill with lint. With the average duct length
of 15' to 20' now days, they all need cleaned routinely.
How we clean it:
We hook up a high powered vacuum behind the dryer where the duct starts and then hand brush from
the outside back to the dryer, while alternating vacuum and blowing until the duct is in a near new condition.
How often should it be cleaned?
Most dryer manufactures recommend ANNUAL
cleanings. It depends on duct length, number of turns, and the amount of laundry you do. IF IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO
DRY, BUT THE DRYER IS STILL GETTING HOT INSIDE, IT'S PROBABLY THE DUCT.
DON'T RUIN YOUR
DRYER OR START A FIRE!
