Wordless Wednesday – PSA Clean Your Dryer Vents (With Linky)
Do you see that? Yup, that’s burnt lint from the inside of my dryer. Scary, huh?
After having my front loading dryer for about three years, I just started having trouble with the clothes getting dried in a timely manner. Working in real estate, I know the threat of lint fires, but I never really thought about it because like I said, I hadn’t been having trouble. After I started having trouble, Hubby and I took the hose off the dryer and cleaned it out. Hubby then took the back off the dryer and I pulled out a whole grocery bag full of lint from the inside of the dryer. Mind you, I always clean the trap before I run it. I was completely floored! Nevermind the ICK! factor, when I saw the burnt lint, my stomach dropped. We were sooooo close to having a fire.
Plllllleeeeaaaassssseeee make sure you check your dryer vent and inside your dryer often! Fires from dryer lint happens more than you may think!

What a great reminder (says the firefighter’s wife!). You’d be surprised how much lint you’ll find in there.

Thank you very much for the Public Service Announcement reminder–very timely! I always clean out the lint screen in the dryer, but often I forget the dryer vent.
