Why it is important to clean dryer vents regularly.

We've come a long way in drying our clothes, from outdoor clotheslines to top of the line electric dryers. Dryers give users a warm set of sheets in just a few moments versus the hours it could spend on a line, depending on the weather. Although electric dryers come with this convenience, it's not something you want to plug in and ignore. Here you will find why it's important to have your dryer vents cleaned out regularly.

Cleaning out your dryer vents on a regular basis ensures that your dryer will be working efficiently and drying your clothes properly. A sign that you may need to clean out the vents is still feeling slight dampness in the clothes after the dryer finishes its cycle. Clogged vents prevent air flow, which means all those wet clothes are just going to be slightly less wet, and have an odor. Another thought to keep in mind is that a clogged vent runs the risk of creating a fire! Lint and other debris can find its way into the vents, which backs up exhaust gases and could ignite a fire.

Keeping up with dryer vent maintenance is very do it yourself. Cleaning out the lint trap and the outside vent cap is a simple and easy task, but it is recommended that you have your dryer professionally maintained at least once a year. The professional maintenance time does vary though, as for a single person it could be once a year, but a family of four may need multiple checkups.

Get in touch with your local professionals, Gator Clean, for a thorough cleaning of your dryer vents today! Rainy season is coming back, and no one wants to dry their clothes outside in a thunderstorm!

We hired Gator Clean to clean our ducts and yes a small amount of mold was found. Danielle and Kelly were a great team and explained everything that they were doing. With the ducts clean the AC air seems to be cooler. This is NEW review, on November 6, 2024, we used Gator Clean to clean our tile floors, main bathroom shower walls and floor and finished it off using a Sandstone colorseal on the grout. I wish I had taken before pictures. Danielle and Kelly again did a fantastic job.

These Ladies are great they get right down to business. Cleaned up afterwards and no pressure or scare tactics to up sale you like some other services, just what you need. They saved me from a big potential problem, when cleaning the dryer vent they suspected it wasn’t connected. I had local handyman check it out and in fact it came loose not connected under the trailers crawl space. THANKS Gater Clean for helping me avoid a major issue down the road ????

Cost Factors in Cleaning the Air Ducts of a Florida Home.

The cost of maintaining a home can add up pretty fast. Unlike renting, homeowners are solely responsible for repairs and upkeep of the various parts of their house. Some maintenance issues are more pressing than others, leaving many problems to simmer on the back burner. This has the potential to create a more giant headache out of issues you thought weren't that big of a deal.
