Press Release Summary: Mike provides dryer vent cleaning services and educates his
customers on fire safety and dryer vent maintenance

Press Release Body: Mike Zalac traded his former carreer for a logo-ed uniform to
own and operate a Dryer Vent Wizard, Safe Homes, Dry Clothes (DVW) franchise in
Southeast, Michigan.

DVW specializes in dryer vent maintenance to prevent dryer fires, keep dryers
functioning properly and provide energy savings through proper dryer vent cleaning,
repair, replacement and alterations.

When Mike decided he didn’t want continue his present career and he wasn’t ready to
retire, he looked into franchising. Having many years of business related skills
behind him gave him a wealth of experience on which to draw. He researched several
concepts and found Dryer Vent Wizard Dry Clothes, Safe Homes. Mike liked their
unique name and he found the concept intriguing.

“I liked that DVW provided much needed solutions to consumers’ dryer and dryer vent
problems which ultimately prevents dryer fires,” says Mike. “I find this career
very rewarding when I arrive just in time to correct fire hazards and educate my
customers on proper dryer vent cleaning and maintenance.”

According to Mike, consumer response to DVW has been positive, although a big part
of what he does is educating. “When consumers find their dryer taking more than one
cycle to dry a load, they assume it is normal and the dryer is old and worn out when
the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent, causing the dryer to work
inefficiently and become fire hazard,” says Zalac.

In an effort to make consumers more aware, Mike shares these maintenance “tips” to
prevent dryer fires and keep dryers running efficiently. He urges consumers to be
sure their dryer vent systems are up to code with the city, state and manufacturer,
to replace any plastic or foil vents with semi-rigid or solid metal venting
material, to keep lint trays clean and free of lint between loads, wash lint screens
every few months to remove residue build-up from fabric softeners, and to have the
dryer vent system professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Mike
also makes sure all his customers know not to leave the house or go to sleep with
the dryer running.

Mike advises his customers to watch for warning signs of potential fire hazards,
like clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the screen
between loads, dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle and clothes having a moldy
smell after drying.
