Why Dryer Vent Cleaning is Extremely Important.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, dryers were the cause of more than 18,000 U.S. home fires last year. Lint and other debris can build up in your dryer hose and vent duct, reducing air flow, backing up exhaust gases and eventually creating a fire.

Keeping you and your family safe is a top priority, but there are additional benefits of using Gator Clean for your dryer vent. A clean vent means efficient drying, which saves money. Your clothing should only take one cycle to dry. If it's taking longer, that's a sign you are due for a cleaning.

You'll save time and aggravation with a clean vent. Instead of watching over laundry, you'll be free to do more important things.

A clear dryer vent prevents a fire. 98% of your vent can't be seen. It's confined to areas inside your walls, floor joist, crawl space and attic. When you hire a trained professional who has seen every make and model dryer that exists, they have all the appropriate equipment to do the job correctly.

Signs your dryer vent needs to be cleaned:

  • It's been a year since the last cleaning.
  • Drying time takes longer and longer.
  • You can smell something burning. Lint is extremely flammable.

Larger households or those with shedding pets should have their vents cleaned more often.

Just because you can't see the problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Dryer vent fires claim lives and cause millions of dollars' worth of damage every year. Dryer Vent Cleaning should be a regular part of every household maintenance plan.

What Your Neighbors Say About Gator Clean

I made the appointment online and was texted very quickly to determine the best date to come out. They arrived as scheduled and quickly quoted my job and got to work. Gator Clean cleaned my carpet and stairs this morning. We had several really dirty spots and pet urine stains. The treatment and cleaning went quickly and when they were done the stains are virtually gone. The floor dried quickly as well. The team was professional and courteous. No high pressure sales or gimmicks. We like the fact that they are conscious about chemicals and safety of humans and pets. We are happy with our choice to use Gator Clean for our carpet cleaning.

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Deep Tile and Grout Clean

Did you know that grout—yes, that tiny strip between your tiles—can harbor more bacteria per square inch than your toilet seat?
