According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), around15500 fires are associated with clothes dryers occur annually. These fires cause an average of 10 deaths and 310 injuries and more than $84.4 million in property damage annually.

A single load of wet clothes in your dryer consists of one half gallon of water. When water is removed after the wash, lint comes off from the clothes. Lint buildup in the dryer vent leads to restricted air flow and other areas around the dryer and is causing the dryer to perform poorly. The dryer also operate at high temperatures which leads to overheat and can cause a fire in your home.
