Press Release Summary: Clothes dryers can be found in 80 percent of the 81.5
millions homes throughout the United States and they're among the most expensive
appliances to operate

Press Release Body: Great Neck, NY-The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
estimates over 15,000 fires are associated with clothes dryers each year due to
improper cleaning and maintenance of dryer vent systems. A full load of wet clothes
contains about one half gallon of water when placed in the clothes dryer. As water
is removed from the clothing, lint is created; some is trapped in the lint screen
which must be cleaned after each load of laundry. Some of the lint escapes into the
vent system and is carried outside. If the system is not kept clean it eventually
becomes clogged, causing poor air flow and resulting in higher energy costs.

Dryer Vent Wizard stresses the importance of proper cleaning of dryer vents to
optimize the efficiency of clothes dryers, producing lower energy bills and ensuring
safety. Proper air flow and venting is most critical to a clothes dryer's function.

One of the most important functions of a dryer is the elimination of moisture
recovered during the heating of damp clothes. The moisture is held in the warm air
produced by the dryer as humidity, and is normally expelled to the outdoors
throughout the dryer's vent. If the air cannot be adequately removed, poor drying
and high energy bills will result. The moisture can also condense into pools of
water in the dryer vent, which is a sign of poor venting that should be looked into
by a professional dryer vent service person.

As Dryer Vent Wizard advises, heat is another important function of a clothes dryer.
Many current dryer models have a thermal fuse or safety device that will open
should the dryer's vent not be installed properly or if it becomes restricted. Once
this happens, the dryer will require service in order to work again. On older
models without a thermal safety, poor venting will cause the dryer to overheat and
cause a fire.

Dryer Vent Wizard takes pride in helping homeowners prevent dryer vent fires and
high energy bills with semi-annual dryer vent cleaning. They also offer a free
