It is essential to maintain a clothes dryer. The lint filter and dryer vents can be one of the most neglected areas we don't pay much attention to. Taking precautions to maintain the clothes dryer of your home or business can help prevent a catastrophe. 

A few tips that can help prevent a fire in your dryer machine: 

• Clean the lint screen often, lint can build up in the trap. 
• Check the back of the dryer for lint buildup. 
• Check for any damages to the venting system of the dryer. 
• Dyer machines should be installed and maintained by a certified professional.
