Central Texas Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Says to Treat the Clothes Dryer Like a Child Stay home and stay awake! Never leave the dryer unattended when it is running!
(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 30, 2013 ) Austin TX – The Central Texas Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard is the only expert area residents rely on for all their dryer vent needs. The Wizard enjoys providing an important home service while educating his customers about dryer fire prevention and energy savings.
One of the most dangerous mistakes people make with their clothes dryer is leaving it unattended. Bob Bryfogle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://dryerventwizardofcentraltexas.com/), suggests treating the dryer like a child, and never leave home or go to sleep with the dryer running.
Bryfogle recalls one dryer fire in a mobile home that started in the dryer duct located in the crawl space. All dryers should be vented to the outdoors, not in the crawl space or attic. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation or inferior dryer vent systems can also be hazardous.
Thankfully, no one was hurt…this is because no one was home when the fire started! Bryfogle urge homeowners to never leave home or go to sleep when the dryer is running. In addition to cleaning dryer vents regularly, owners should clean the lint screen after each load, be careful not to store flammable material near the dryer, avoid putting rags that have come into contact with flammable substances in the dryer, and check the vent outdoors often to be sure it works properly, opening when the dryer is running and closing when the dryer is turned off.
Over 17,000 dryer fires occur each year, resulting in deaths, injuries, and nearly $200 million in property damages. A dryer fire can completely destroy a home within minutes, so the Wizard advises his customers to never leave an operating dryer unattended.
