How can I tell when my dryer vent needs to be cleaned?

• Clothes take longer to dry or don’t dry fully
• Clothes are hotter than normal at end of dry cycle
• Outside of dryer gets very hot
• Outside exhaust vent flapper does not open much
• Laundry room has burnt smell or is more humid
In case of dryer fire, remember to GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL 9-1-1 or your local emergency phone number.
How can I prevent dryer fires in my home?
• Do not use the dryer without a lint filter and clean the filter before/after each load
• Remove lint that has collected around the drum
• Rigid/flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper airflow
• Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and outdoor vent opens
• Don’t overload your dryer and keep dryer in good working condition
• Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and connected properly
• Turn off dryer if you leave home or when you go to bed
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates an average of 3,700 structure fires at hotel or motel properties annually, causing $127 million in damage–9% are dryer related, and most can be prevented with dryer vent cleaning.
In addition to fire safety issues, clogged dryer vents are also inefficient and costly. By reducing the lint build-up and debris in your ducts, dryers will not have to work as hard, increasing your dryer’s efficiency and using less energy while operating.
