About this time every year you start your spring cleaning or at least think about it. You might be cleaning out your closet weeding out the winter clothes and bringing in the Summer or if you are like me you have had the urge to get the kitchen cleaned.
But did you forget your appliances? Yes, your major household appliances need a spring cleaning as well. Your dryer should be number one. Did you know that 15,000 fires across the US are caused by dryer vents every year? Clogged dryer vents are not only dangerous they are inefficient. You may need to run several cycles to clean one small load. They make your dryer run hotter and longer causing your electric bills to rise and they can also damage your dryer, resulting in needless repairs or even replacements. Clogged dryer vents create an enormous amount of dust and the excessive heat created can actually ruin your clothes.
So make sure to have your dryer cleaned, spring and fall are ideal. Call S&S Appliance 410-527-9222 to help you schedule your cleaning. Remember to clean your lint filter after every cycle as well.
Treat your appliances right and remember they too need a spring clean up. The time and money you will save is worth it.
