Press Release Summary: “Don’t Let Your Dryer Start a Fire, Keep Your Home Safe &
Sound” are part of Dryer Vent Wizard’s ongoing campaign promoting dryer vent safety
& fire protection

Press Release Body: According to the US Fire Administration, dryer fires account for
an average of $15,000 dryer fires annually. Carl Hein, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard
of Minnesota said, “Failure to properly clean and maintain dryer vents is the major
cause of clothes dryer fires.” Carl Hein is franchise owner/operator of Dryer Vent
Wizard (DVW), Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a home service franchise based in Minnesota
serving the Twin Cities area.

In cooperation with the NFPA, Dryer Vent Wizard is providing advice to consumers to
minimize the risk of dryer fires. Carl advises consumers to be sure the dryer vent
systems are up to code with the city, state and manufacturer by replacing any
plastic or foil vent systems with semi-rigid or solid metal venting. Consumers
should be sure lint screens are clean before and after drying each load of laundry.
“I receive emails and letters from customers thanking me for bringing this to their
attention,” said Carl at a recent interview.

Carl makes sure his customers understand the warning signs to look for, including
clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the lint screen, dryer
repeatedly stops during a cycle, clothing having a moldy smell after a dry cycle,
and clothing being very hot after a dry cycle. “People are not aware that their
clothes dryer has a greater chance of causing a fire than their furnace or stove!”
explains Carl. “I make sure my customers understand this before I leave their
home.”
