There are so many things that we are asked to do on a daily basis. Between work and family life, it’s a wonder we have any free time at all, let alone free time to do things that we enjoy! When we have a to-do list, many of us try to put important and enjoyable things on our to-do list, but we here at AdvantaClean of West Knoxville want to impress upon you the importance of moving dryer vent cleaning straight to the top of your to-do list for these three reasons.

1. Fires- By far the most important reason to get your dryer vent cleaning taken care of as soon as possible is to reduce the risk of fires. The lint that is caught in your lint trap isn’t the only lint produced, and the remainder is left to flow out of the dryer vent and accumulate there. When the dryer vent is full of lint and is being bombarded by heat that the dryer puts out, it’s a fire waiting to happen.
2. Mold- When your dryer vent is full of lint, it can also start to harbor mold since it has easy access to warm, moist air. This can easily make its way back into your home via your clothing.
3. Efficiency- Imagine putting a heavy blanket on top of a fan. That fan will need to work very, very hard to get a fraction of the air to come out! The same goes with a dryer vent. The more lint accumulation, the harder your dryer has to work to dry your clothes, costing you money.

As you can see, dryer vent cleaning is a crucial task to get done. Please call us at AdvantaClean of West Knoxville to get your dryer vent cleaning done today.
