Clearing up the confusion when choosing to have your dryer duct cleaned.

Dryer Duct Cleaning

Some company’s claim that they are going to clean your dryer duct, only to find out what they really do is just “Blow Out the Dryer Duct”. What they do is blow air thru the duct work; this is not the proper way of cleaning the dryer duct! “Blowing Out” might get some of the loose lint and debris out. Lint sticks to the interior duct and cannot be blown out. The proper way is to use the appropriate Brushes & Equipment to effectively remove all the lint and to do the job correctly. The Brushes that we use “Scrub” the sides of the entire length of the duct work to remove all of the lint.

Reasons/Benefits to have your Dryer Duct Cleaned:

There are over 16,000 dryer fires per year in the United States due to excessive lint built up in the dryer ducts.
You will extend the life of your dryer if the dryer duct system is clean because the dryer will not have to work as hard to dry the clothes.
You will lower your utility bills.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission recommends having your entire dryer duct system cleaned & inspected annually.

Indications that you need the Dryer Duct Cleaned:

Drying your clothes/towels for more than 1 cycle.
Noticeable buildup of heat in the dryer.
Little or no air exhausting out of the outside dryer vent.
