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.
The DryerFlex Advantage
DryerFlex outperforms all other types of exhaust ducts due to its unique design of all-metal construction using five layers of 25-micron aluminum ribbon wound over galvanized, zinc coated wire.
How Does Dryer Lint Impact Indoor Air Quality?

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.
