According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 15,000 fires
occur each year due to obstructed airflow from lint buildup in dryers. This is due to textile lint being an incredibly flammable
substance. To prevent a fire happening in your home, make sure you invest in Dryer Vent Cleaning in Hawaii.
If someone can't get to your home today, there are preliminary measure you can take. You probably already know to clean the lint from the lint trap each
time you use it. However, did you know it’s a good idea to wash your lint screen with
soap and warm water once a month to remove residue created by laundry
soaps or softeners? Lint builds up in the vent between your dryer
and the outdoors, which is how fires can start. Not only
will cleaning your vent keep your home safe, but you’ll be improving the
energy efficiency of your dryer too.
When a professional arrives, they will pull your dryer out away from the wall and unfasten the metal
tubing. With either a bristle brush or another tool, they will go into the vent and rotate it around to pull out accumulated lint. Make sure the dryer vent opening on the outside of your house is checked and clear
of any blockages. Depending on the distance between your dryer and the
outside vent, you may want to use the vent brush from the outside too.
