Clothes dryers are an important part of everyday life, but they often do not get the attention that they deserve. It is easy to overlook the needs of these appliances but even a bit of neglect can lead to serious damage to your machines, as well as the potential for expensive repairs and even fires.
Professional Cornwall dryer vent cleaning services care for appliances around multi-unit properties, clearing out clogs to protect your tenants. In addition to reducing the threat of dryer fires, proper care and maintenance help to increase efficiency, reduce drying times and prolong the lifespan of your machines.
Ditching Dryer Lint: What to Know About Buildup
Clogged dryer vents play a huge role in the overall function of your machine, and in health and safety. On-site laundry is a huge draw for tenants in condos or apartment buildings, but these are not the only high traffic spaces around. Schools, hospitals, hotels, assisted living centres and more all require multiple loads of laundry per day and this means a heavy reliance on functioning machines.
Everyone is familiar with having to clean out a lint trap following a load of laundry, and while these mesh traps help, they can’t catch everything. With each cycle, bits and pieces of lint and debris sneak passed mesh screens, making their way into your dryer duct and vent pipe.
Damp lint builds up against uneven and textured surfaces, creating a thick layer of debris. This is the ideal space for bacteria and mold to form and spread. As machines run, they circulate this contaminated air back through laundry rooms, having a negative impact on air quality. Layered debris also allows less and less air to pass through systems, meaning longer run times and sometimes even repeat loads, putting unnecessary wear and tear on your machine, as well as an increase in energy bills.
As a venting system becomes clogged, it becomes a fire hazard. Lint is extremely flammable, so even a single spark can quickly lead to disaster. Regular dryer duct cleaning removes health and safety hazards, creating a more functional laundry room, with more efficient machines.
