Dryer Vent Safety is Key: What's hiding in your laundry room?

A dryer is something that most homeowners use every single day. Dryers are a great technology to have, but they can also create a less than desirable situation in your laundry room. 

Dryer vents need to be cleaned after every single use. Not only do the vents need to be cleaned but the vent leading outside needs to be cleaned out quarterly, if not more. 

Keeping these two vents clean can drastically lower the statistic of your dryer catching fire. But, do not just take it from us, look at this huge statistic: 

The facts do not lie,  FEMA reports: "2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss." 

Remember these facts and tips to keep your Richmond home safe from fire damage.
