Why Clean your Dryer Vents?
Why Clean your Dryer Vents?
1. Your Dryer's Auto-Shutoff Kicks in
Most modern dryers come with an auto-shutoff feature. This safety measure will shut off your dryer mid-cycle if it's trapping excess heat and moisture. Trapped heat could be a sign of a blockage in the vent line. A blocked vent is a serious risk for house fires and should be dealt with immediately. In some newer dryers, the dryer's heating element may shut off as the dryer continues to tumble as a fire prevention measure - this is evidence of a clogged vent.
2. Lint Builds Up
Most of us know to clean out a dryer's lint tray after each use. But experts warn you should also keep an eye out for lint behind and under the washer and dryer. Excess lint behind the dryer is a sign of a clogged vent system and can be very dangerous. The lint accumulates there because it has nowhere to move through the vent.
3. You Smell Mold
A clogged dryer vent traps heat and moisture in your dryer, which creates a perfect home for mold and mildew. You do not want the unpleasant smell of mildew on your clothes, but it can serve as a warning that you should check the vent system. After a thorough cleaning, your laundry room will be safe and back to smelling like normal.
4. Take Longer to Dry
If you find yourself wondering what’s taking your dryer so long, you might want to instead focus on the vent system. A clog or block in the vent will prevent proper airflow, resulting in longer drying times. A quick call to Breazy Home Services can get your system back on track!
5. Pet Hair is Everywhere
As a pet owner, you might not think twice about a little fur on a pair of jeans or sweatshirt. But all that hair has to go somewhere. Pet hair is a common cause of dryer vent buildup and should be monitored throughout the year. If your pet is going through a particularly rough shedding period (like in the summer), you might want to check on your dryer system more frequently. Chances are it needs to be cleaned even more than your rug!
