One memory that will forever stay in my brothers, sisters, and my parents minds, is when the house almost burned down due to my father’s neglect of a simple dryer vent clean out and he will always feel responsible for that whole horrible nightmare. We are all just lucky to have come out of there unhurt and alive, and that the fire fighters got there as fast as they did and got the fire under control very quickly, with minimal damage done to that part of the house, where the washer and dryer used to be. The washer and dryer, ever since that happened, were both moved to a different part of the house that is more convenient for both my mother to use for her daily washing needs and better located for my dad’s needs, in keeping up the maintenance and all.
Mother writes me that she is very pleased to find a company, on the Internet, by the name of Dryer Vent Wizard the she has been reading, that offers a FREE Dryer Vent Check Safety Tool Kit and she now wants to share these very valuable and useful information with one or more of her and Dad’s community groups that they so often try and find topics and subjects of interest for the everyone to enjoy and learn from. I think that it is a brilliant idea, something that she feels passionate about, due to our own family’s personal experience, way back then and am urging her on and hope that she will pursue it, after reading up on it a bit more myself, since mother sent along with her email the link for Dryer Vent Wizard.
The up keep of your dryer can save money is so many ways, and anything that one can do to save money in today’s tough economy only makes sense and when you throw safety into the loop, it only makes sense to do what you can in preventive measures. Just by keeping the dryer lint vent clean, can save an average of $20 a month, that is $240 a year. And while saving money isn’t enough, but is an important feature of keeping a clean, lint free dryer, the fact that 15,500 fires a year are caused by dryers and their venting issues, should make anyone want to make sure that they are doing a good thorough job of cleaning.
I wasn’t aware that there businesses out there that will come and inspect and professionally clean your personal/home dryer, other than for the professional, commercial laundry services and the like. So I found it quite interesting to see that Dryer Vent Wizard not only offers “Dry Laundry” & “Safe Homes”, and their Free Dryer Vent Check Safety Tool Kit, that my mother is so interested in, but also offer good tips and advice on dryer lint issues and professionally clean and inspect any clothing dryer that needs it. I’m glad that she found this site and took the time to pass it along to me and the other “kids” in the family, interesting info to be found and shared, to be sure.
