EFFICIENCY

Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you dry your clothes, they come out perfectly dry and other times they are a little damp and you need to keep putting them in for more time?  This could be a sign that your vents may be clogged.  When your vents are cleared out, you will notice your clothes will dry more quickly.

CLOTHING LONGEVITY

When dryer vents are clogged, the dryer tends to work harder to produce more heat.  The hotter the clothes, the quicker the fabric breaks down which means your clothing begins to look worn and tattered faster.

ALLERGIES

Yep!  Those pesky allergens can hide in clogged air vents which can make anyone in your family who suffers from allergies more reactive.  Get your vents cleaned and begin to breathe easier.
