Dryer Vent Inspection by the
Greenbrae Wizard Reveals Serious Fire Hazard
The Wizard finds a safety hazard in 9 out 10 homes when she inspects the dryer vent system
Greenbrae, CA – The Greenbrae Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard finds a safety issue with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems. During a recent dryer vent inspection the Wizard was pleased to find system was properly installed and just needed a good cleaning. She did notice another dangerous fire hazard in the laundry room which she pointed out to the customer.
The dryer vent system met all safety standards; the vent was made of solid metal rather than vinyl or plastic and it was installed properly. The one fire hazard many consumers overlook is laundry room storage. Paint cans and paint remover, boxes and cleaning supplies should never be stored near the dryer. Dryers produce heat, so these items should be stored in the garage or an area well away from heat producing appliances.
Rhonda Nole, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://greenbrae.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) also warns homeowners about rags that have been soaked with flammable substances. Even if they have been washed, some residue can remain and ignite from the heat in the dryer. These rags should be line dried to ensure safety.
