Safety first
Why Dryer Care Protects Your Home
Lint is fuel. Fire safety groups such as NFPA point to lint buildup as a leading cause of dryer fires. Cleaning the lint screen every load and keeping the vent clear helps a lot.
- Clean the lint screen after every load.
- Do not overload the drum.
- Keep the area around the dryer clear.
- Have the vent cleaned about once a year.
If you smell burning, stop and contact us right away.
