Another fantastic benefit of dryer vent cleaning is that your clothes just dry much faster. I had one Homeowner contact me late at night amazed dryer vent cleaning services that she's drying her clothes in 30 minutes with low heat instead of the 3+ hours at high heat it used to take her. Especially in our society with our busy lives, we sometimes just can't afford to be waiting and babysitting a dryer for hours on end. And for Homeowners who leave their home during a dryer running, that indeed is a dangerous situation. Cleaning the dryer duct line once a year is required to keep your dryer in tip-top shape.

And the biggest and most serious reason to clean your dryer vent annually, is to prevent a devastating dryer lint fire. If you could peer inside a dryer vent when a fire starts, this is what you would see. First, a part of the vent line is totally clogged with lint. Since the heat has no where to go, the lint and the metal duct gets hotter and hotter. Soon, the lint will begin to become darker and more compressed until it actually starts to melt. Eventually, an ember will start and it will grow larger and larger until a flame begins. The fire spreads outwards towards the outside, and inwards towards the dryer. Then, the clothes in the dryer will catch on fire. After that, some of the wiring of the dryer will ignite and now there is an electrical fire --- one of the worst fires you can have. This is why it is so important to clean your dryer duct annually.

In conclusion, there are numerous reasons to do an annual dryer vent cleaning. Whether it is done for extending the life of your dryer, drying your clothes faster, or preventing a serious fire... it is a worthy investment for peace of mind, saving money, and drying your clothes quickly.
