On Sale this Week
Posted by: | CommentsThe number one cause of all dryer problems is poor ventilation. Clothes taking 90 mins. to 2 hours are longer to dry, is a sure sign of poor air flow through the dryer and out the exhaust vent.
Many homes built today have very long exhaust vent runs to get to the outside to vent, those need to be cleaned at least twice a year.
You can pull the dryer away from the wall to make sure the dryer vent inside the unit is not clogged as well. The air should be blowing out very fast.
Here are two items on sale this week, that will help clean your dryer exhaust vent.
2 different lengths:
Vent Brush For Cleaning 4-inch Round Dryer Vent 10 foot

The Larger Size
Vent Brush For Cleaning 4-inch Round Dryer Vent 20 foot
