"Clean Air Dream Team company did an excellent job cleaning out my dryer vent. Before them my dryer barely g hot and took forever to dry clothes. After there cleaning my dryer works great. Andri took time to explain everything he did. I will be definitely using this company again. Also I will be recommended them to my family and friends. Thank you so much Clean Air Dream Team."
"Corvelli sent two men to clean the ducts in both my AC and heating systems. They took about 3 hours, were very tidy and clean, and extremely curious. I had neglected in advance to notify them of an allergy that I had to the disinfecting agents that they used, and when I discovered my mistake, they completely remediated the cleaning agent with attention to detail and courteous concern. To remove the cleaning smell (which itself was pleasant smelling, though I was allergic to it) they were here for an extra 3 hours and did not charge me for that extra time, spraying and wiping down each duct twice, and they even went so far as to repair my old ceiling fan in order to help circulate the air in my house to remove any residual smell. They will be returning tomorrow free of charge just to check up on the job and to turn off my attic fan for me (which is quite old and difficult to control). Regarding the cleaning of the ducts, I watched their procedures which seemed thorough."
"The pro did the work of cleaning out the dryer vents. However, they left without discussing what they learned from the work. The picture that they sent with their project completion did not have particularly good pictures and did NOT show the lint that was removed from the vent exhaust. Moreover, the summary description of the work simply said that no problem was detected. Nothing about the exhaust cleaning. I called the office. The lady I spoke to kept talking about the quality work they did which did not answer my question about the lint removal. She did say there were pictures attached to the report. I agreed, but it was only of the vent and the roof. She sent me additional pictures that clearly showed the volume of lint removed on the roof. In my opinion, this whole experience could have been avoided if 1) the report summary explained that lint was removed, in addition to "there were no problems noted", and 2) all the pictures taken by the technicians been included."
"Mark was the first and only call I got when I searched your site for dryer hose cleaning. I figured no one would care to handle a small job , especially at the peak of the Christmas Season, but Mark did- and he SAVED our lives. And I mean literally, SAVED our lives. He came two days later to vacuum our dryer hose and found out that the vent hole where the hose dryer blows out was covered by the new sidings we had installed which could have caused a deadly fire!! Mark saved our lives, - God sent! Mark went above and beyond his duty - he opened it up and screened the hole . What is amazing is that this guy did not have to come for such a small"
Dryer Vent Cleaning questions, answered by experts
Failing to open your flue can lead to serious health hazards if you start a fire because the smoke will back up into your home. Breathing fire smoke, even in relatively small quantities, is bad for human lungs, and smoke can also irritate your nasal passages and eyes. Furthermore, smoke can cause damage to your interior fixtures and furnishings, at the very least leaving an unpleasant smoky smell for a long time. In short: If your flue isn’t open (or you’re not sure if it is or not), don’t start a fire to find out!
Depending on how much you use it, your dryer should be disinfected about every six to 12 months, especially if you see frequent buildup of lint or evidence of stains from fabric bleeding or ink.
Other signs you should sanitize your dryer more often are overheating, improper drying, excessive humidity, or if you notice a strange odor when it’s running.
If you're dealing with an odor in your dryer that transfers onto your clothes and linens, here's what you can do: start by cleaning the lint trap and drum with warm soapy water. Then wipe down the interior using a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to eliminate any lingering odors.
To get rid of odors you can try this method: take a cloth soaked in vinegar and put it inside the dryer. Run the dryer on a heat setting for 15 minutes. Afterward, make sure to dry the drum by running it with some towels. This technique helps eliminate any smells and leaves your dryer smelling nice and fresh.
If the odors remain, you may need to sanitize your dryer or call in a professional house cleaner to handle the job.
Yes, mold can grow in a wet dryer vent. Mold is a type of fungi, and fungi thrive in warm, moist conditions. Dryer vents need to be aired out so heat can escape and moisture can dry. If your dryer vents aren’t properly vented, the trapped heat and moisture will cause mold to grow, and the mold can spread to the dryer and even your clothes. Not only can this leave a musty smell on your freshly laundered clothes, but—more importantly—it also poses a health risk.
It’s possible to clean your dryer vent yourself in most cases, but it’s usually best to leave this important task to a professional. If you make a mistake when reinstalling the vent, you could kink it, which makes it easier for a blockage to form. Instead, call in a professional annually to do a thorough cleaning and an inspection. They will make sure there are no kinks in the vent that could promote blockages in addition to cleaning it. If your vent runs through a wall, you’ll need help from a professional regardless.
