Clothes dryers are meant to make life easier for homeowners but even this takes effort. It might be simple enough to care for a household appliance but in multi-unit environments, this gets tricky. Even a bit of neglect can mean a clogged air duct system, fire hazards and health risks. Instead of living with poor conditions, have a Gorilla tackle your Annacis Island dryer vent cleaning. Our team of experts are able to handle laundry rooms in apartment blocks, condominium complexes, hotels, hospitals, assisted living facilities and everywhere in-between.
What To Expect From Your Appliances
An everyday household appliance might see two to three full loads per week, depending on how many people live there. In strata spaces, this number jumps up quickly. Highly populated areas and high traffic businesses depend on clean linens to keep customers happy and bacteria at bay. This means dozens of loads per day. Each and every time that you turn your machine on, lint is being left behind. Removable, mesh traps might catch a bit of this cast-off but the bits that sneak through are the real problem area. Even the tiniest specks of fluff, paper or debris contribute to a much larger whole.
Bit by bit, you can expect lint buildup. This lint, trapped inside air ducts and vents begins to layer over itself. These blockages restrict air flow into your dryer duct and this means a drop in air quality. Without proper circulation, damp air contributes to mold formations. As mold forms, air flow spreads bacteria around laundry facilities. This is bad for everyone but anyone with a weakened immune system is at even greater risk.
On top of being a risk for tenants, lint build-up is a risk for your machine and property itself. Without proper circulation, you can expect strain on your machine. When appliances have to work harder, it shortens their lifespan, this is true of washing machines, dryers and any large machine. When properly cared for, one of these machines can last a decade or more but without proper dryer duct cleaning, you are looking at premature replacements and repairs. On top of that is the threat of a dryer fire. Lint is extremely flammable so it is more important than ever to clean your dryer.
