A dryer can be a real fire hazard even if you are using it properly. Dryer fires are one of the most common causes of house fires. Every year over 15 000 fires start in the laundry room when lint from dryers build up and catch fire.
Here are a few simple tips you can use to help prevent dryer fires:
- Have your dryer install and service by a professional.
- Do not use the dryer without a lint filter.
- Always clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry and remove lint that has collected around the drum of the dryer.
- Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, such as boxes or cleaning products.
- Do not restrict the air exhaust vent pipe and make sure the vent flap outside is opening when the dryer is on.
- Once a year, or more if you notice that it's taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe and inside the dryer. If you are uncomfortable doing this on your own, give us a call to schedule a dryer maintenance service.
