In any multi-unit property, the laundry room is the heart and soul of the space. Having a high-functioning clothes dryer can take everyday chores from frustrating to convenient. As great as this sounds, dryer lint is always putting your appliance at risk. Calling a Gorilla for professional Georgetown dryer vent cleaning keeps machines running smoothly and limits the risk associated with a clogged system.
What is Clogging Up Your System
Just about everyone is familiar with a clothes dryer, whether in a home or at a laundromat but in a multi-unit space, these appliances can look a bit different. In apartment buildings or condominium complexes you might find several, average sized dryers but hotels, hospitals, schools and assisted living centres often opt for industrial sized machines.
The average household dryer might see one load of laundry per day but this is ramped up in shared laundry rooms. With each load of laundry that passes through a machine, bits of debris are left behind. Hair, paper, lint and debris split off from clothing and linens, some of which get caught in lint traps, while some sneak through, getting caught in exhaust vents.
Damp debris sticks to surfaces little by little, layering over themselves and creating clogs in dryer ducts. Clogged vents are an ideal space for mold and bacteria to form. This is bad enough on its own, but circulating air makes it even worse. This air carried bacteria and allergens back into laundry rooms, dropping air quality. Contaminated air is just one of the risks associated with a clogged system.
Dryer Duct Cleaning: Avoiding Dangerous Situations
Appliances are designed to make life more convenient by making it possible to dry your clothes quickly. This sounds great but it is only possible with the right maintenance and care. As clogs begin to form. there is a greater risk of dryer fires around properties. You might be able to clean the lint trap of an appliance but to prevent fire hazards, it takes a trained eye and the right touch.
House fires are an extreme example of the damage that blockages can cause. In addition to severe damage, clogged dryer ducts can lead to costly repairs and replacements by putting added strain on appliances. Limited air circulation prevents clothes and linens from drying fully – which means repeat loads and unnecessary wear and tear. Save yourself the cost of replacing a machine by focusing on regular cleanings instead.
