Got kids or pets? You’re living in a high-usage laundry household.

There’s no need to sweat the extra loads. But a professional dryer vent cleaning will help if you are looking to cut down on drying times and reduce extra energy costs, saving you time and money. 

Let’s talk about kid laundry

Extra humans = extra laundry, period. Even if they’re small.

When summer fun enters the chat, pool parties and sports can make the laundry add up! Washing swimsuits, towels, and jerseys can feel like a part-time job.

Do your kids play winter sports, like hockey or basketball? Bulky winter clothing already means more frequent, heavier loads—sports just add to it!

Don’t let lint build ups slow you down. Schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning today!

Let’s talk about pet laundry

Pet hair flies right past your lint trap just like lint. Even if you’re not drying something your pet uses, the hair is ever-present.

If you have a shedding pet, this impact will be amplified.

Just think about how much hair ends up in your vacuum—a similar amount is probably going into your dryer vent in just a week’s time.

Time to get that dryer vent professionally cleaned.
