Rane removed the back of the dryer to explain how to clean out the lint. What he saw left them all shocked.

A dryer exhaust duct that is clogged with lint not only affects the performance of the dryer, it also creates the perfect environment for a dryer fire. Ducts that are bent, crimped, crushed or twisted in any fashion tend to collect more lint than straight ducts. The lint builds up over time and other factors, such as sticky residue from dryer sheets, condensation, critters living inside the ductwork, and how often the lint trap is cleaned, all contribute to restricting the airflow in the dryer exhaust duct.

The easiest way to make your laundry room safer is by using the right transition duct. Dryers naturally vibrate and get pushed back against the wall, crushing the transition duct and creating a dangerous fire hazard.

As the hot, humid air leaves the dryer and travels through the duct to escape to the outside, it’s important for this airflow to take any excess lint particles along with it.

Are your clothes not drying like they should? If your laundry is taking a long time to dry, that’s an indication of a clogged dryer duct.

The Dryerbox is an in-wall recessed receptacle in the laundry room that houses the dryer exhaust duct. It has changed the way of venting a dryer, contributing to improved dryer performance, safer, more efficient and roomier homes.

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.

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.

There's a list of "do's" and "don'ts" to ensure code compliance when installing or updating the dryer exhaust system in your home.

Most dryers today have sophisticated features and these tips may help you avoid ruined clothing, equipment service calls, or worse yet, dryer replacement down the road.

In most homes, the dryer transition hose is damaged as the dryer is pushed towards the wall. Semi-rigid and flex hose are easily crushed and bent, restricting airflow and accumulating lint.

Space in the laundry room is valuable and there's often not enough of it! The Dryerbox allows you to place the dryer closer to the wall without crushing the exhaust hose or restricting the dryer's airflow.

The Dryerbox protects the transition duct safely inside the wall, allowing room to push the dryer farther back and giving you more space in the laundry room. The DryerWallVent exceeds code compliance requirements for safely venting a dryer in the home.

If you’re seeking a roof vent termination to vent your dryer’s exhaust, it’s important to know that the design of many roof vents can actually restrict the dryer’s airflow.

Keeping the laundry room running safely and efficiently is easier than ever with the Dryerbox. The in-wall receptacle protects the transition duct from kinks and bends, allowing the dryer to be pushed back safely against the wall.

Organizing the laundry room is probably the last thing on your list, but doing so will make you feel so much better about this space.

The venting of moisture to the outside prevents it from building up in the laundry space and creating an environment for mold and mildew to thrive.
