Dryer vent cleanings remove the lint buildup in your vent. This lint buildup decreases air flow which can shorten your dryer life, extend drying times, and may cause a fire.
Lint buildup uses more energy to dry your clothes. If your dryer isn't drying your clothes like it used to, you probably don't need a new dryer, just a dryer vent cleaning! A dryer vent clogged with lint reduces airflow so your dryer can't dry clothes as quickly. An inefficient dryer uses more energy, thereby costing you more money. Dryer vent cleanings can save you money.
Dryer vent cleaning can prevent dryer fires. A dryer vent clogged (fully or partially) with lint reduces airflow escape. This causes heat buildup and then ignition (a dryer fire). Lint is a boy scouts favorite material for starting fires; after all, it is highly flammable. Dryer vent cleanings prevent dryer fires and save lives.
Statistics from the United States CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) indicate there were 15,500+ residential dryer fires in the United States originating in clothes dryer exhaust vents. These dryer fires resulted in personal injuries, deaths, and over $84.4 million in property damage. The CPSC also reports that hundreds of people were non-fatally poisoned by carbon monoxide as a result of gas
clothes dryers.
