How Often Should You Have Your Dryer Vents Cleaned?
The Annual Guideline for Homeowners
For the average family household, we recommend a professional residential dryer vent cleaning at least once per year. However, certain factors increase lint production and may require more frequent attention. If you have a large family, pets that shed, or a dryer vent that is particularly long and complex, a six-month cleaning schedule is a safer bet. Consistent upkeep is a core part of our residential dryer vent services.
High-Demand Needs for Businesses
Commercial properties are a different story. Businesses like laundromats, hotels, salons, spas, and multi-family housing units place a much higher demand on their dryers. Due to this constant, heavy use, a more frequent schedule is essential for safety and operational efficiency. Most businesses require professional commercial dryer vent cleaning on a quarterly or semi-annual basis to prevent fire hazards and ensure compliance with safety codes.
Telltale Signs You're Overdue for a Cleaning
Regardless of your schedule, your dryer will give you warning signs that it needs immediate attention. If you notice that your clothes are still damp after a full cycle, the top of the dryer is hot to the touch, or you smell a burning odor, it's time to call a dryer vent company right away. These are clear indicators that your vent is clogged and poses a significant risk.
