Back to the lint trapįortunately, most lint traps are very well made and collect about 95% or more of the lint as it passes through the dryer vent system. Also, because the bulk of the drying is over in ten or fifteen minutes, this causes less use and wear on the dryer. The pole serves two purposes: hanging clothing which shouldn’t be dried in the clothes dryer and hanging clothing which is partially dry so it can dry completely on the hanger instead of in the dryer.īecause the 1) washer and 2) dryer are the two things which cause the most wear on your clothing, the practice of partial-drying keeps your clothing in better condition. Since you’re going to hang your clothing when it’s dry anyway, many people opt to hang a clothes closet pole just above their washer and dryer, where they store extra hangers. But, since we’re talking fires here, let’s throw in a little bit of energy savings, as well: one of the greatest secrets to keeping your dryer in good condition and keep your electric bills low is to not use the dryer as much as you are currently. One solution to dryer lint buildup is to make it a practice to empty the lint trap after every load. If you have this type of vent hose, replace it immediately. Dryer vents are notorious places for lint build-up and are prone to neglect by busy people who are already a bit out of sorts from having to do their laundry. Many time, dryer fires start as the result of an accumulation of dryer lint built up in the dryer vent. Lint, a byproduct of a typical clothes dryer, is a highly flammable material. Most of the care involved with a dryer means keeping the dryer components and surrounding area clean so it can’t start a fire.
As a heat appliance, they are an electrical device which requires a certain amount of care to own. Dryers are huge consumers of energy, as the 240-volt outlet implies. If you buy a dryer and don’t have a 240 outlet, one will have to be installed, along with a 30-amp, double-pole circuit breaker. Also, dryers don’t leave clothes feeling stiff or fade them from the sun.ĭryers are often 240 volt power users. The convenience of saving the energy necessary to hang clothing, as well as the time it took to hang, collect and put away each article of clothing is substantial. Clothes dryers have replaced clothes lines as the primary method of drying our clothes.
