The clothes dryer is second only to the water heater in power consumption. Faster drying times mean lower utility cost.

Anyone who has used a clothes dryer knows that a significant amount of lint is generated and that the lint trap needs to be cleaned. The lint trap generally needs to be cleaned after every load of clothes. Cleaning the lint trap improves air flow and lets the Dryer in your Phoenix area operate more efficiently.

The lint trap in your Phoenix home does not catch all the lint. Some lint may make it all the way through the dryer air vent and be released outside of your Phoenix home but some of the lint can get stuck in the dryer vent. A flexible dryer hose that has corners and bends in are especially vulnerable to accumulate of lint.

A surprising number of home fires are caused by dryer vents that become obstructed by lint. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) studies have shown that in excess of 15,000 home fires are associated with clothes dryers and excess lint build up is suspected in many of these fires. Lint is highly flammable and if the dryer vent in your Phoenix home becomes restricted and cannot properly vent the hot air, it can cause heat to build up which can ignite the lint. These fires are easily preventable with a little preventative dryer vent cleaning.

To help prevent fires, the CPSC recommends the following:

• Clean the lint trap between each load of clothes.
• Clean the dryer vent and all dryer vents at least once a year.
• Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up. 
• Replace accordion type duct material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct. Most manufacturers recommend rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal ducting because they provide better airflow. Flexible plastic or foil ducts trap more lint and can be susceptible to kinks or crushing, which reduces airflow. 
• Take special care when drying fabric that has been soiled with flammable chemicals such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents or wood finishing oils and stains. Consider washing clothes that have been exposed to such chemicals more than once to minimize the amount of the chemicals remaining on or in the fabric and, ideally, hang dry these items.
