Dryer lint is highly flammable and the cause of most dryer related fires so why not put it to use in the backyard BBQ or fire pit?
Stonington CT – Regular dryer vent cleaning service minimizes the risk of dryer fires while speeding up drying time to improve efficiency. Dryer lint is highly flammable and provides ample fuel for a rapidly spreading fire. Don Brusseau, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard suggests cleaning dryer vents regularly and using the dryer lint for a more beneficial fire like the backyard BBQ or in the fire pit.
The Stonington Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard works to encourage consumer awareness about the necessity of regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning to prevent fires and promote dryer efficiency. More than 17,000 dryer fires occur each year and most are a result of poor dryer maintenance. In addition, poorly vented dryers can cost an additional $300 per year to operate.
Don Brusseau offers green ideas to his customers, including frequent dryer vent cleaning to increase dryer efficiency, extend the life of the appliance and most importantly, eliminate a fire hazard. Since dryer lint is flammable, Brusseau suggests recycling it by using it as a more recreational fire starter in the back yard bon fire.
The clothes dryer is such a simple appliance to operate, even a child can do it, so the Wizard (http://dryerventcleaningnewlondon.blogspot.com/) suggests teaching them good habits and rewarding them for cleaning the lint screen regularly. Motivate the children to clean the lint screen and have them save the lint for a rainy day activity. Mix it with water to form a paste. Shape it and paint it when it dries.
Dryer lint can be used as stuffing in toys and pillows. Nature lovers can fill a mesh bag and hang it outside for birds, mice and squirrels to use for nesting material.
