You’ve likely been doing your own laundry for your whole adult life, but how often have you hired a dryer vent cleaning service?
Contrary to what you believe, picking out dryer lint yourself isn’t a deep clean, and your dryer could be struggling from not receiving professional service. Take a look at some of the reasons you should be hiring someone to clean your dryer vent!
1. Prevent Dryer Fires
The number one reason for dryer vent cleaning is for fire safety. Dryer lint is so flammable that it’s often used as tinder for campgrounds. With such a flammable object hanging out in your dryer, you’re running the risk of the heat from the electricity and drying process igniting it and burning your whole home down.
Eliminate the possibility of sparks catching, by removing lint before every new load of laundry. However, your regular maintenance may not be enough to keep your home totally safe. While regularly doing it yourself helps, you’ll need a professional to make sure that any lint that wasn’t caught by the dryer lint screen is taken care of.
2. Conserve Energy
As dirt, debris, dust, and lint collect in your vent, less room is left for air to travel through during drying. Your dryer vent will pile up until it can hardly pass air through. And the harder your dryer has to work, the more energy it will use.
More energy means higher electric bills and a bigger carbon footprint for you. So if hiring professional cleaners seems too expensive, consider how much you’ll be saving on your energy bill every month. A once a year expense will start to seem worth it.
3. Dry Clothes Faster
There’s nothing worse than running your dryer, checking your laundry, and having to run it again. For the same reasons we’ve listed above, your dryer is less efficient when you aren’t investing in professional cleaning.
And if you fail to run it again right away… well you’re looking at smelly, mildewy clothes. And you’ll have to wash them all over again. Get your clothes dry the first time around with a clean dryer vent.
4. Keep Clothes Looking New Longer
Why else is double drying times bad? It ruins your clothes! Clothes that get run through the dryer frequently get a dingy appearance faster.
You can save some lifetime for your clothes by running them through the drying as infrequently as possible. The best way to do that is to make sure they really will get dry the first time around.
5. Eliminate Allergens
Have you ever stuck your face in a pile of dryer lint? (We don’t recommend that you.) You’ll be sneezing for the rest of the day.
Your dryer doesn’t just pick up lint off of your clothes, it also picks up any allergens that got on your clothes throughout the day.
Throw them away! Get them out! You don’t want those allergens hanging out in your house.
