We’re a little over a month into the new year, but there’s still time to keep up with resolutions. You might not realize how many places in your home are often overlooked when it comes to cleaning, but you should make it one of your resolutions this year to ensure those areas have been cleaned out—particularly your dryer vents! Having your vents professionally cleaned is an excellent resolution and having this done at the beginning of the year is a great time to achieve this resolution! Why is that?
Here's why. Temperatures have dropped, which means you’re wearing and using heavier clothing and blankets. And that means you’re washing and drying those heavier items. These heavier, bulkier fabrics accumulate more lint, and since lint is incredibly flammable and the reason a majority of dryer fires start, it means simply clearing out your lint trap won’t be enough. You also need to be sure that your dryer vents are clean, so there’s no lint to catch fire and gases and hot air can be properly vented.
It isn’t only about stopping a fire and properly venting gases and hot air, though. Having clogged dryer vents means your dryer is working twice as hard and can lead to longer drying times, your dryer running hotter than normal (which is unsafe!), or your dryer not working at all. Constantly dealing with longer drying times that mean you need to spend hours trying to dry clothes is no way to begin the year. So, get a jump on things by having a Dryer Vent Wizard visit, so you’ll have at least one resolution finished right away!
