Dryer Safety Tips:

The following are a few of the smaller things that you may have considered to be harmless that could actually affect dryer safety:

  • Using too many dryer sheets – Dryer sheets are meant to reduce the static-cling in the dryer. For the most part, they are safe to use – as long as you use the recommended number of dryer sheets. The problem is that some people will forget how many they’ve added or added too many out of pure negligence. The chemicals that dryer sheets contain are designed to soften the fabric. Too many dryer sheets will result in too many of these chemicals leaving residue within the dryer, which can lead to a clog. Make sure you find the dryer sheets you’ve used after doing a load and throwing them away afterward.
  • Not providing enough space – Don’t try to squeeze your dryer into a small space where it has no room. Dryers need space around them so that the air around them can circulate properly. Without the necessary space, your dryer could overheat and cause a fire.
  • Don’t use vinyl tubing – You should use vent duct tubing instead. Vinyl tubing does not meet current fire codes.
  • Drying the wrong things – Dryers are designed to dry fabric and nothing else. This means throwing wet toys, wigs, or purses into your dryer is not a good idea; you could potentially damage it.

Be sure to keep these dryer safety tips in mind on your next laundry day, and don’t forget to call us at Daffy Ducts to keep your dryer vents safe and clear of lint!
