Commercial Dryer Vent Cleaning : Where Safety Meets Performance

There are a few notable reasons why regular vent cleaning should be performed - regarding safety and dryer performance. Let's start by talking about safety.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, almost 20,000 dryer fires are reported each year, leading to hundreds of millions in property loss and the potential for injury or even death. Of all dryer fires, more than a third are associated with a failure to clean the vents properly. In addition to fire risk, failure to clean the vents can lead to the buildup of poor air quality within a facility.

Secondly, unkempt dryer vents can also result in a less efficient overall dryer that uses more energy to dry clothes adequately and places more wear and tear on the appliance. This may result in more than a higher energy bill but premature dryer failure.

Read on to learn more about how dryer vents become contaminated, the best practices for maintaining them, and how commercial dryer vent cleaning companies - such as Dynasty Ducts - can help:

How Do Dryer Vents Become Contaminated?

Let's start by discussing how dryer vents become contaminated and why they must be adequately cleaned regularly.

All dryer vents have lint traps designed to capture lint so that it doesn't enter the vent. Dryer vents work to remove excess heat and disperse this heat outside. However, lint traps don't capture all of the lint that a dryer cycle may generate, and over time this lint can work its way into the dryer vent and cause blockages, thereby preventing heat from escaping as it needs to. This results in a reduction of airflow and can cause the dryer to run very hot.

Since lint tends to be highly flammable, it can lead to a fire if it becomes too hot. And while a fire hazard isn't ideal in any environment, in a commercial environment, it can do more than cause property damage but lead to unplanned downtime, which can be costly for your business and hamper its productivity and profits.

Best Practices for Maintaining Clean Dryer Vents

Dryer vent cleaning commercial services are an ideal way to ensure vents are unobstructed. And we suggest having your property's dryer vents professionally cleaned twice a year, perhaps even more, based on how regularly the dryers are used. Aside from professional cleaning, there are several other best practices that you can implement to keep your property safe and dryers running well. For instance:

Clean out the lint trap after every dryer load. The less lint that's in your dryer means that there's less of it that can get into the vent.
Check the exhaust. If your dryer vents outside, find where it's venting to ensure the airflow is strong. If it's not, it could be evidence of obstruction. Pay even closer attention to vents that run a long way from the dryer to the outdoors.
Watch for warning signs. If you notice your clothes taking longer to dry, feeling excessively hot after being removed from the dryer, or having excess lint buildup after each cycle, it may be time to clean your dryer vent. Additionally, if the laundry room feels very hot while the dryer is running, this could be a sign that the vent needs cleaning.
Vacuum the lint trap area as necessary. While using a vacuum or shop vac won't be able to get far into the vents to permit a professional deep cleaning, it can help keep the area cleaner overall.
