You probably know that dryers can cause fires. Most of these fires are caused by clogged dryer vents. So most people know that the number one reason to clean your dryer vent is to prevent fires. There are other reasons why you should regularly clean your dryer vent though. Here are a few of those reasons.
Another reason for cleaning your dryer vent is that you will extend your dryer’s life. When your dryer is overworking because the vent is clogged, this will shorten the dryer’s life. So if your vent is clogged, it will also cause you to run your dryer longer or run it through multiple cycles to dry your clothes. This can cost you both time and money. The last reason for cleaning your dryer vent is that you will prevent mold from growing. When the vent is clogged, this will trap moisture, leading to wet spots in your tube. Mold loves those wet spots.
These are just a few other reasons for cleaning your dryer vent. When you maintain your dryer, you will save yourself time and money. Your dryer will also last longer. Most importantly, it will keep you and your family safe.
