Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-How To Clean Dryer Vents
Dryer Vent Cleaning in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach Areas of FL
The MOST important maintenance for any clothes dryer is a clear exhaust vent. Usual maintenance of a clothes dryer requires cleaning of the dryer vent system. If your dryer stops working, it could be because the bearings, elements, ignitors or other critical parts failed due to lack of service.
Here are a few tips to ensure your clothes dryer will operate safely and efficiently:
- To make sure you get the best results from your dryer clean both the lint vents and the back of machine regularly.
- When drying a few items make sure they are of varied sizes and only do a full load if your dryer has Auto-Dry cycle.
- You should ask your dealer about a rack to help dry caps, sneakers, sweaters, stuffed toys, and pillows.
- Make sure nothing you put in the dryer is flammable (spot or stain removers, gasoline, motor or cooking oils, etc.)
- Machine drying foam backed rugs is never a good idea.
- Bending is uncomfortable and often causes serious injury, avoid this by making sure your washer and dryer are level and raise the clothes dryer at least a foot off the ground.
- Keep in mind that you should always use metal or rigid ducts with your dryer and avoid foil and white plastic ducts, which often are flammable and make your dryer less efficient.
If you dryer is improperly vented or clogged it can lead to:
- Clothing still wet after cycle
- Slow drying times
- Loud noises
- Fabric are ruined by too much heat
- Some items remain damp
- Complete dryer failure
Vertical vents runs that get clogged can rapidly cause the motor, drum rollers,and heater to fail. Qualified service personnel (UL - Underwriters Laboratories) are the best choice for even the simplest dryer maintenance.

Your clothes will dry faster with less heat and energy by using and regularly cleaning rigid or flexible metal venting and ducting materials, as well as reduce operating costs and extend the life of the dryer and clothing due to lower drying temperatures.
