The Wizard provides an important home service, educating customers while eliminating the number one source of dryer fires
Neglected dryer vent systems and faulty dryer vents cause over 17,000 dryer fires reported annually. The frequency of home fires increases during the fall season, so the Wizard is working hard to promote public awareness by educating customers who appreciate their dedication to dryer fire prevention.
Here are some tips Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.NorthernVirginia.DryerVentCleaningNow.com) shares with their customers:
• Clean the lint screen or filter before or after each load of laundry
• Make sure your dryer vent system meets city, state and manufacturer’s safety codes
• Replace plastic or flexible foil systems with sold metal material
• Keep the dryer lint screen clean and wash it every few months with soap and water to remove residue from fabric softener sheets
• Have professional dryer vent cleaning done each year
• Don’t store combustibles, chemical cleaning products or chemical soaked rags near your clothes dryer or other gas appliances
• Do not leave the house or go to sleep when the dryer is running
• Check the dryer vent outside often for lint build up, blockage, damage or freezing
Dryer Vent Wizard joins efforts with the National Fire Prevention Association by recommending professional dryer vent cleaning to prevent fires, save energy and prolong the life of the dryer. In addition to cleaning dryer vents, they will also check belts and rollers inside the back of the dryer to be sure everything is in good working order. Worn belts can cause the drum to become unbalanced and rub against other parts, causing the dryer to throw a spark and ignite the lint accumulated in the dryer vent.
