(EstateNewsWire.com, July 11, 2012 ) Portland, CT According to the Portland Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard there are over 17,000 dryer fires reported each year with most of them caused by failure to clean dryer vent systems. Other causes of dryer fires include poorly installed dryer vent systems and sometimes, mechanical failure.
Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.connecticutt.dryerventcleaningnow.com/), explains other causes of dryer fires that many people are unaware of. He recalled a dryer fire in a public laundry where firefighters removed smoldering towels and aprons from the dryer. They discovered some oil on the towels which ignited from the heat of the dryer.
Another dryer fire in a health spa was caused the same way. Towels soaked in cosmetic oils spontaneously combusted in the dryer. When asked how this happens, Brusseau explained, Rags soaked in flammable liquids like gas, oil or some cleaning supplies should be line dried, even if they are washed first. Some flammable residue can remain after washing.
Professional dryer vent installation and regular dryer vent cleaning service are the best ways to prevent dryer fires and maximize dryer performance. Don Brusseau enjoys providing this very important service while educating his customers with tips to prevent dryer fires.
In addition to being careful of what goes into the dryer, Brusseau also advises his customers to be careful of what is stored in the laundry area. Cardboard boxes and flammable liquids should not be stored around heat producing appliances. Even if they are not the cause of a fire, they will provide fuel to allow flames to spread rapidly.
Don Brusseau is a certified dryer exhaust technician specializing in dryer vent cleaning and dryer vent exhaust services. He enjoys building relationships with customers and educating them on efficient use and maintenance of their dryer exhaust system. Visit http://www.dryerventcleaningportland.com/ to learn more.
