Because lint builds up in your dryer each time your dry your clothes, reducing its efficiency, regularly cleaning out your lint trap can improve the machine's massive energy use. Clearing built-up lint is also a matter of personal safety: Nearly 25,000 dryer fires, which start when built-up lint near the motor, gas burners, or heating elements ignite, cause millions of dollars and damage and hundreds of injuries a year, some of which can be fatal.
Here are some of the precautions you can take to reduce the risk of dryer fires, as well as keep your dryer from siphoning off more power than it needs:1. Empty the lint trap after every load.
2. Vacuum behind the machine regularly.
3. Keep flammables away from the dryer.
4. Annually clean lint from inside the dryer cabinet and vent duct. (Check your machine's manual for detailed instructions.)
