Introduction
Most homeowners know to clean their lint trap after every load, but did you know lint still builds up in your dryer vent over time? A clogged dryer vent isn’t just inconvenient — it can be dangerous. At M2 Cleaning Services, we’ve seen first-hand how proper dryer duct cleaning can improve safety, efficiency, and peace of mind.
1. Fire Hazards You Can’t Ignore
According to the National Fire Protection Association, clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of household fires. Lint is highly flammable, and when it builds up in vents, the heat from your dryer can easily ignite it. Regular dryer duct cleaning helps protect your home and family.
2. Save on Energy Bills
When your dryer vent is clogged, your dryer has to work harder (and run longer) to dry your clothes. That means more energy use — and higher hydro bills. A clean vent restores proper airflow, allowing your dryer to run more efficiently.
3. Extend the Life of Your Dryer
Dryers that constantly overheat and strain against clogged vents wear out faster. By keeping your ducts clear, you reduce stress on the machine, saving you the cost of premature repairs or replacement.
4. Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs Cleaning
- Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
- Burning smell during drying cycles
- Excess lint behind or around the dryer
- Hot dryer surface after a cycle
- Vent hood flap not opening properly
