Dryer Safety Tips for Brighton

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), failure to clean clothes dryers is the leading cause of clothes dryer fires. SERVPRO^® of North Thornton/Brighton offers these dryer safety tips from the NFPA:

• Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional
• Do not use the dryer without a lint filter
• Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry and remove lint that has collected around the drum
• Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.
• Keep dryers in good working order
• Gas dryers should be inspected by a qualified professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks
• Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly
• Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer
• Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed
