Missoula Dryer Fires: Clean Lint Traps Save Lives.

8/22/2024 (Permalink)

A clean lint trap saves lives!

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, about 2,900 residential dryer fires occur annually, with nearly 1,000 of those (34%) caused by improper cleaning of the lint trap or vent ductwork. The good news is that preventing these fires is straightforward and only requires a few simple steps.

The most crucial action you can take to prevent dryer fires is to clean the lint trap after every drying cycle, not just once a month or week. This daily maintenance not only reduces the risk of a fire but also helps your dryer operate more efficiently, drying your clothes faster. Additionally, perform a quick inspection at least once a month: check the back of the dryer for lint buildup, ensure the venting system is free of damage or obstructions, and make sure the outdoor vent cover is clear and opens when the dryer is in use. It's also a good idea to thoroughly clean the vent system once a year.
