How often should you clean a dryer?

• <div><p>The frequency of cleaning your dryer depends on how often you use it. For regular households, it is recommended to clean the lint trap after each load of laundry. Additionally, thorough cleaning of the dryer—lint trap, drum, and exterior—should be done every few months. It's important to pay attention to the vent system as well. Ideally, it should be cleaned at least once a year, or six months if your dryer takes care of huge loads often, or more frequently if you notice reduced drying efficiency.</p></div>

How do I know if my dryer is overheating?

• <div><p>You will know if your dryer is overheating by placing your hand on top to feel its temperature. If it’s hot to the touch, that’s a clear sign the dryer is overheated. Other signs include your laundry coming out hotter than usual, a burnt smell when it’s running, or burn marks on your laundry. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t open the flue?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t open (or you&rsquo;re not sure if it is or not), don&rsquo;t start a fire to find out!</p></div>

Q: Is condensation in my dryer dangerous?

• <div><p>Condensation in your dryer can create a dangerous situation. It can cause lint to clog up the venting components of the system. If you have a gas-powered dryer, excessive lint buildup can create the potential for carbon dioxide buildup within your home. Clogged vent systems can also be a severe fire hazard. </p></div>

Q: How do I improve indoor air quality?

• <div><p>Use air purifiers, clean regularly, and ensure proper ventilation to reduce pollutants.</p></div>
