CLEAN YOUR DRYER VENTS TO PREVENT THE MAJOR CAUSE OF RESIDENTIAL FIRES IN THE UNITED STATES

New York Carpet Cleaners has found that over 15,700 fires were started in clothing dryers in 1998, the most recent year for which data is available from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. These fires caused 20 deaths, 370 injuries and more than $75.4 million in property damage. Excessive lint build-up in the dryer vent is a potentially dangerous situation that prevents air, moisture and carbon dioxide from venting properly.

There are several simple precautions that New York Carpet Cleaners recomends to protect yourself. Make sure your dryer is vented properly and that the exhaust opening on the outside of your home is not blocked. If airflow from the dryer is blocked from either direction, the dryer can overheat and cause a fire. Clean the lint filter after every use and have the ducts cleaned at least once a year depending on usage. Consumer Reports recommends the use of metal dryer ductwork as best. We will replace your foil or plastic ducts for you.
