At their best, household appliances like clothes dryers make life easier by keeping drawers and linen cupboards full. An efficient laundry room is great around households but for multi-unit properties, it is a must. Hotels, hospitals, schools, assisted living centres, apartment blocks and condo complexes all rely on these appliances, so let our Gorillas keep them running smoothly.
Regular Parksville dryer vent cleaning services strip lint and debris out of systems, eliminate risk and get the best performance out of your machine. A clogged duct system means longer drying times, more frustration, a drop in indoor air quality and an increase in fire hazards.
Why Clean Your Dryer Vent
With each load of laundry that passes through a machine, lint filters grab and hold onto loose debris. More often than not, a lint trap isn’t much more than a mesh screen. These small screens make a major different to air ducts but they aren’t able to catch everything. As bits and pieces sneak passed these areas, they become lodged into dryer vent systems.
Clogged dryer vents are dark, damp and covered. To humans, this doesn’t sound like a very pleasant place but for mold and bacteria, it is home, sweet, home. Because it is already damp, dryer lint, hair and debris are prone to sticking. As unwanted materials cling to sides, they begin to form a foundation layer.
Little by little, each load of laundry adds to this foundation, further restricting air flow. As air attempts to recirculate, it carries bacteria back into the laundry room with it. This means a drop in air quality. Lint is also highly flammable so even a quick spark can light a clogged dryer duct up in flames.
Dust is one of the most common allergens out there. Instead of learning to live with a stuffy nose or sneezing, eliminate your problems at the source! Indoor air quality is important at the best of times but it can be a real health improvement for anyone with a compromised respiratory system.
The Perks of Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning
The key to a proper dryer duct cleaning is not to get too caught up on the clogs that you can see but instead, to hunt down the ones that you can’t. Anyone can run a hand through a trap but proper results, mean having to dig deep to reach unseen areas.
Every day, property owners head into their laundry facilities, pull the dryer away from the wall and end up causing damage to the machine itself. Hookups and hose attachments are more delicate than they might appear from the outside. After years of experience, our Gorillas know how to treat your appliances to avoid damage while getting results.
From here, high-powered vacuum cleaners are used to suck up clogs and blockages. Stripping away obvious buildup is necessary but it is only the first step of the process. By scrubbing vents and ducts clean, there is less chance of blockages re-forming, meaning your treatments last longer.
