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 fires with an approximate $88 Million in property damage, 15 deaths and 400 injuries annually. Failure to clean was cited as the leading factor contributing to clothes dryer fires in residential buildings.
"We've found a huge lack of awareness among consumers who think it is normal for their clothes dryer to take two to three cycles to dry one load of clothing and don't realize this is a dryer vent clog warning sign and fire hazard," says Greg Longe. Greg and his partner, John Lynch franchise Dryer Vent Wizard, Dry Clothes, Safe Homes, a nationwide chain of dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alteration specialists in the U.S.
Dryer Vent Wizard provides advice to consumers to minimize the risk of dryer fires. Consumers should be sure screen lint trays are clean before and after drying each load of laundry. They should also be washed with soap and water every few months to remove residue left behind by fabric softeners, and professionally cleaned and inspected annually.
Dryer Vent Wizard points out the warning signs to look for, including clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, especially jeans and towels, 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.
