Why do I need dryer vent cleaning?
As with most households, you likely use your dryer on a frequent basis. Even when you clean your lint trap regularly, that doesn’t mean all the lint from your laundry has been removed. In fact, only around 25% of the lint from your clothes is collected by the lint trap in your dryer. That means the rest is building up in the dryer vent system, restricting airflow and causing your dryer to work harder. As a result, this can cost you more in monthly energy bills, and as mentioned before, become a threat for fire.
