Dryer Cleaning
The Consumer Products Safety Commission estimates there are 24,000
clothes dryer fires each year in the United States, amounting to
$96,000,000 in estimated property damage. Lack of maintenance is
the leading cause of dryer fires, and LINT is the leading material
to ignite. Reduced airflow and the resulting lint build-up cause
overheating by preventing fast enough drying action. When this
happens, the high temperature limit safety switch has to cycle on
and off to control the heater. Most high temperature limit switches
were never designed to cycle on and off continuously which can
cause them to fail over a period of time. Dryer Vent Cleaning should be performed every six months to
three years depending on many factors such as dryer efficiency,
length of duct, number of turns in duct, length of any vertical
duct.
Most homeowners do not think about dryer vent cleaning until their
dryer stops working or overheats and causes a fire. Some homeowners
have even purchased a new dryer thinking the old one was wore out,
only to find that the new dryer didn't work any better because the
dryer vent was clogged with lint.
Dryer vents become clogged with lint because lint particles
bypass the lint filter entering the duct with warm moist air, which
clings, to the walls of the duct. The longer the duct, vertical
duct, and turns increase this buildup. This buildup restricts
airflow through the duct, which increases backpressure on the dryer
fan causing the dryer to overheat.
Dryer Vent Cleaning is an inexpensive way to help keep your
family safe and your dryer working properly.
Cleaning Chemicals
Oxine-HVAC is
registered by the EPA specifically for the sanitation of HVAC
systems and duct work, and is also a registered Tuberculocidal.
As a pioneering product in critical point microbial control,
Oxine-HVAC is scientifically proven effective against Legionaella
pneumophila, Aspergillus fumigatus, Staphylococcus aureus,
Mycobacterium bovis (Tuberculosis) and numerous other
disease-causing organisms. In addition, Oxine-HVAC eliminates these
and many other microbial concerns in a matter of seconds - then
breaks down into simple table salt.
In addition to its EPA registration, Oxine is approved by the FDA
and USDA to ensure the user of its efficacy and safety. The
solution is clear, stable and virtually odorless allowing Oxine to
be safely stored and transported with out special
consideration.
EnviroCON is highly effective in eliminating
odor-causing microorganisms as well as those associated with mold,
mildew and bacterial growth.
A
point of contact application, EnviroCON eliminates odors at their
source through a chlorine dioxide release-process that destroys
organisms at the origin. EnviroCON uses no perfumes or masking
agents.
An
enhanced benefit of EnviroCON is its low toxicity and safety rating
form the EPA. As a result, EnviroCON may be used in occupied
spaces. EnviroCON does not use any environmentally damaging
propellants or flammable ingredients.
