Dryer lint is the byproduct of our clothing pilling in the wash. It’s considered normal and certain materials will pill more than others. At the end of a dryer cycle, homeowners should clean the lint from the lint trap (which builds up at an impressively quick speed!)
As it’s common for lint to collect in dryer vents, lint buildup can easily become a fire hazard. The first step in minimizing risk for a dryer fire is to clean the lint trap after every use. Next, you’ll need to look at regular dryer vent cleaning.
Think of lint as the tinder for a fire. As heat collects in the dryer, it sucks in fresh air from its vents to keep it in the right range of temperature. Fresh air can’t flow through the vents properly if there is lint. This blockage can cause a fire in the drum of your dryer.
Similarly, there could be a partial or complete blockage in your ducts even if you’ve had your dryer vents cleaned recently. This blockage can lead to a combustion and fire in the ventilation shaft.
