Eliminating mold issues
Mold isn’t just associated with the washer – it’s also a health hazard that affects the dryer. Clogged dryer exhaust ducts are a breeding ground for mold growth inside the duct as well as on walls and surfaces in your laundry space. Mold spores thrive in humid environments and quickly grow and spread when exposed to water.

Top reasons to clean the dryer’s exhaust system
Cleaning a dryer’s exhaust system is so much more than routine cleaning of the lint trap, or lint screen, with each load of laundry. It’s so much more than wiping the dryer’s drum with warm soapy water and a cloth. It’s entirely possible that the dryer’s warranty wouldn’t be honored by the manufacturer if the system wasn’t routinely maintained, once per year at a minimum.
The Importance of Maintaining Your Dryer Vents
Not a great deal of attention is placed on the clothes dryer in the home, other than opening the door, tossing the wet laundry into its drum, cleaning the lint filter, then closing the door and turning the dryer on. We expect it to work each and every time to dry the wet clothing. However, without proper care and routine maintenance, the dryer can be a threat to your family and the safety of your home.
