Dryer fires are no laughing matter. They claim multiple lives every year, and cause millions of dollars worth of property damage. Not to mention the emotional distress from the experience.
Since dryer fires are one of the leading causes of house fires in Canada and the U.S., what can be done to protect you and your family?
Take these 5 steps and post them over your dryer as a reminder:
- Clean the lint trap after every load of laundry
- Clean the inside of the dryer barrel, as this is often forgotten
- Check the dryer hose regularly
- If you have a gas dryer, have a professional check for gas leaks
- Keep the immediate area around the dryer free of clutter
