Press Release Summary: Mike Alder demonstrates proper dryer vent cleaning and
maintenance at a workshop for real estate investors

Press Release Body: Boise, ID - Over 15,000 fires per year are caused by clothes
dryers; most of these fires could easily be prevented with proper dryer vent
cleaning and maintenance. Mike Alder, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, recently attended
a real estate investors' workshop where he spoke to property managers and landlords.

Mike brought samples of proper and improper dryer vent material and explained how
using the wrong type of venting can create a fire hazard. "Vinyl and plastic dryer
ducts need to be replaced with semi-rigid metal to meet today's safety codes and UL
standards. Dryer vents should be professionally inspected and cleaned at least once
a year to prevent lint build-up from causing a fire. When tenants don't properly
maintain their dryer vent systems, the landlords end up being liable for whatever
happens. In large buildings, many lives are at risk, because of one negligent
tenant," Mike explained.

Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, specializes in dryer vent cleaning,
repair, installation and alterations. They also provide a great service to their
community, educating each customer in dryer vent maintenance and dryer fire
prevention. Service technicians cover everything they need to know about
maintaining their dryer vent system. DVW technicians will teach them how to
properly clean and maintain the system between annual inspections and professional
cleanings.

One investor, who owns a very large apartment building said, "I never really gave
this a thought. I appreciate Mike's advice; he demonstrated how easily a dryer fire
can happen. I learned that a clothes dryer is actually more likely to cause a fire
than a furnace or stove! I'm going to set an appointment with Mike to inspect my
building and home too.

Mike Alder urges landlords and apartment building managers to have all dryer vents
in the building professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year or
whenever a tenant moves out. "The cost of the inspections and necessary repairs is
really small compared to potential damages, injuries and even loss of lives if a
fire should occur," said MIke. Visit http://www.dryerventwizard.com for great fire
