Las Vegas-Paradise-Cleaning Dryer Vents
Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Las Vegas-Paradise Areas of NV
If you want to ensure the best performance of a clothes dryer, clear the exhaust vent. Improperly cleaned dryer vent systems can cause dryer failure. Cleaned and inspected dryer vents are essential to having working parts such as bearings, ignitors and other important elements.
Some tips that will ensure your clothing drying is working safely and efficiently are:
- Efficiency of your dryer can be improved by cleaning the lint filter before each load and cleaning behind the machine occasionally.
- If you are only going to dry a few items, through in a couple extra ones of different sizes so that everything dries evenly, and avoid using an auto-dry setting as it will not work well.
- A drying rack is a great way to get caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows dry safely.
- Any object that could catch fire (sport or stain removers, gasoline, motor or cooking oils, etc.), should not be put in the dryer.
- Do not machine dry foam backed rugs.
- It is in your best interest to put the dryer at least a foot off the ground to minimize bending , it should also make the dryer level with the washer.
- Do not use white plastic ducts or any sort of foil on your dryer which can be flammable and cause inefficiency, instead use metal or rigid ducts.
Sometimes when your vent is not working or is clogged it can have the following results:
- The dryer can be too loud
- Clothes get too hot which is bad for perma-press
- Increased drying times
- Early failure of heating element, motor or bearings
- Automatic sensors may fail
- Clothes come out of the dryer still damp and hot
Vertical vent runs are also a problem causing worse failure of the motor, drum rollers, and heater. Even for routine cleanings, you should have qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories) work on your dryer.

They have everything needed to make your dryer function properly again. Save time and money with rigid or flexible metal venting and ducting materials and regular cleanings, as well as reduce operating costs and extend the life of the dryer and clothing due to lower drying temperatures.
