Detroit-Warren-Livonia-Home Improvement: Dryer Vent Cleaning
Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia Areas of MI
All dryer maintenance should start with exhaust vent cleaning. If your dryer is not regularly cleaned and maintained it could fail due to clogged vents. An improperly maintained dryer usually has its bearings, elements, ignitors or other critical parts break.
The tips that will almost guarantee a safe, efficient drying machine for clothes include:
- Frequent lint vent cleanings and cleaning behind the dryer are important ways to improve dryer productivity.
- If drying a small load vary the size of items and always do full loads when using a Auto-Dry cycle.
- Drying racks for caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows are available from your dealer and many other stores.
- Do not dry alcohol, cooking oils, gasoline, spot removers, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable substances in the dryer.
- It is best to air dry foam backed rugs.
- To minimize harm to your knees and back make sure your dryer is level with your washer, about a foot off the ground.
- Metal and rigid ducts are best to use with your dryer avoid any kind of foil and white plastic ducts which are both flammable and inefficient.
If your vent is not venting properly or is clogged sometimes it may cause:
- Long drying times
- Incomplete drying
- Rattling or other noises
- Inability to get clothes completely dry
- Dryer gets too hot
- Dryer Failure
If you have a vent that runs vertically anywhere you will probably experience even more of the above problems and premature failure of the motor, drum rollers, and heater. Qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories) are the best choice for even the simplest dryer maintenance.
Consider a professional air duct cleaning company when looking for dryer service.
They will have all the right equipment to get your dryer as clean as possible. Well maintained dryers with rigid or flexible metal venting and ducting materials save energy and dry more quickly, as well as reduce operating costs and extend the life of the dryer and clothing due to lower drying temperatures.
