SAFETY TIP 🔥 | Dryer Maintenance = Fire Prevention
Did you know that lint buildup is one of the top causes of household fires in Canada?
Your dryer works hard, and when lint blocks airflow, the heat has nowhere to go — creating a dangerous fire risk.
Here’s how to keep your home safe:
✨ Clean your lint trap after every load
This improves airflow, reduces drying time, and lowers the strain on your dryer.
✨ Schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning once a year
Even if you empty the lint trap consistently, lint still accumulates inside the vent line.
A yearly cleaning helps prevent overheating, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your dryer.
✨ Watch for warning signs:
• Clothes taking longer to dry
• A burning smell
• Excessive heat around the dryer
• Lint buildup around the vent outside
A little maintenance goes a long way — and it could prevent a serious fire.
