Easy DIY Tricks To Help Keep Your Home Healthy During Winter Season

Oct 1

Despite the name, it doesn't always dry your garments perfectly. You might require dryer vent cleaning Albuquerque service if your clothes remain damp after several cycles of drying or the outside of the dryer becomes too hot during the drying process.

 

It's more than just a necessity to clean your clothes and wash the ducts (and mental sanity). Lint could build up inside these ducts for months or years before reacting with the hot air, igniting and making it a risk to fire. There are countless fatalities and injuries resulting from fires in dryers every year. Another indication that it's time to do some laundry cleaning in your room is if you can smell something burning.

 

According to dryer vent cleaning Albuquerque, dryer vents are only cleaned every year. While cleaning it by yourself may be intimidating, a variety of simple, affordable, low-cost, and efficient alternatives are readily available.

Efforts to avoid future build-up

 

What is the first thing I should do?

Before you do your laundry before you wash, be sure to check if your dryer operates on gas or electricity.

 

An electric dryer requires an outlet with 240 volts grounded. Additionally, in addition to being larger the outlet will also have three or four prongs according to the model.

 

A gas-powered dryer is a different matter. It can be connected with a standard 110-volt three-prong outlet and then connected to a gas valve.

 

When cleaning the gas supply valves for dryers ensure that you do not end up damaging the gas line that is flexible. Consult a professional if not sure of what you're doing.

 

Needs to cleanse your dryer vent.

At around $24, you can purchase the dryer vent cleaning kit at the local hardware store or on the internet.



Learn how a dryer vent cleaning Albuquerque service works in six easy steps

 

Step 1: Find an opening.

The first step is to locate the dryer's vent. The diameter of the exhaust pipes for dryers is 4 inches. They connect to ventilation systems in walls. Dryer hot air is pushed through this pipe and then exits your home through a vent in the outside wall.

 

Check your dryer's outside exhaust vent for any lint, dust, or even dead bugs there. Clean all screens and get rid of any obstructions apparent.

 

Step 2: Disconnect the dryer's power cord with care.

Once you have figured out the purpose of your dryer's ducts, it's time for you to unplug it. Take off any clamps or tape made of metal that's connected to the exhaust pipe of your dryer. To prevent the pipe from breaking it, apply light pressure while removing it from the wall.

 

Step 3: Remove the vacuum and vacuum up the dust.

You should be able to see the dryer vent after you've cleaned out your laundry area and installed a window (or nook). Clean up any lint that has accumulated in or around the hole using the hose attachment on a vacuum cleaner or shop vacuum.

 

You can clean the outside duct similarly with an handheld vacuum. You can also clean the outside of the building by yourself.

 

Step 4: Apply a brush to enter the services.

To clean dryer ducts all you require is a drill attachment as well as a dryer brush. You might need to be careful with the hose attachment depending on the direction your dryer duct runs. Push the brush in the direction you can.

 

You might have to consider to insert the brush head onto the outside of your ducts , if you cannot thread the brush across the entire pipe or if the brush isn't extending to the fullest extent.

 

Step 5 Clean up and connect

You've probably found a gold miner's lint in the past. Clean up your fluffy friends with either a broom or vacuum and dustpan.

 

Connect your dryer to the outlet then connect the ductwork to the wall.

 

A different scenario is that your dryer might be fitted with a soft foil wall vent. A 90-degree angle aluminum elbow is sufficient to provide excellent venting and fire protection.

 

It's done! It's finished! When the dryer starts it will emit exhaust coming from the vent. Wet garments and endless cycles are now a thing of the past. You are the only one that made it possible.

 

Future build-up is avoided

Take out the lint trap and take out the lint before each drying cycle to ensure that the filthy lint particles don't interfere with your next drying process. It is suggested that you remove the lint filter every week at least in accordance with how often you dry your clothes. In the final phase make sure you dust and sweep the areas around your dryer.
