Dryers are one of the leading causes of home fires!
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that dryer ductwork be cleaned at least once every year. Lint is extremely flammable. If you are unable to do this every year, Get Dwell can help by cleaning or replacing dryer ducts to help maintain dryer safety in your home.
Potential warning signs:
• Drying times seem to increase
• Clothes are especially hot
• It has been a year since your last dryer vent cleaning
More than 15,000 home fires are started by dryer fires every year, usually from lint build-up, but few people are aware of this danger in their home. In this video, Meri-K Appy, President of the Home Safety Council, urges TODAY Show viewers to take simple steps to protect their families from dryer fires.
