🔥Don’t Let a Dirty Dryer Vent Ruin Your Independence Day🔥
As families across Riverside County enjoy pool parties, beach trips, and backyard BBQs this 4th of July, your washer and dryer will be working overtime especially with piles of wet towels and sandy clothes. But here’s the danger most homeowners forget:
A clogged dryer vent is a major fire hazard.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, thousands of house fires each year are caused by lint buildup in dryer vents and 92% are preventable with regular maintenance.
Here are 5 essential dryer vent safety tips every Riverside County homeowner should know this holiday weekend:
1.
Schedule a Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning
If it’s been over a year since your last service, you’re overdue. Professional dryer duct cleaning removes hidden lint buildup that DIY vacuuming can’t reach — and prevents overheating and house fires.
2.
Don’t Overload the Dryer
We get it — pool towels pile up fast. But stuffing the dryer slows airflow and increases lint buildup. Run smaller, faster-drying loads to reduce risk and protect your home.
3.
Check the Lint Trap After Every Load
This simple habit is your first line of defense. A clean lint screen keeps air moving and helps prevent dryer fires — especially during high-use weekends like the 4th of July.
4.
Look for Warning Signs
Is your dryer:
Taking multiple cycles to dry?
Smelling hot or musty?
Feeling unusually warm to the touch?
These are all signs of a clogged dryer exhaust system and a fire hazard in the making.
5.
