When it comes to allergies, we usually think about common allergens such as pollen, dust, and peanuts. While these are quite familiar, there are several hidden allergens in your homes that can cause several respiratory conditions. A clogged dryer vent is a breeding ground for allergens, but don’t fret! We will help you identify some of the hidden allergens in your home:
Mold
Dryers get a lot of water from a load of wet washed clothes when tumbling them dry. Drying clothes with a clogged vent is a recipe for disaster. A clogged dryer vent causes reduced airflow out of the dryer and increases moisture in your vents. The result is a settlement of mildew and mold spores. These microscopic spores can spread in the air causing respiratory issues and triggering asthma attacks.
Carbon Monoxide
A clogged dryer vent can block airflow and let lint accumulate in your dryer, causing it to stick and harden in the vent. This is an extremely dangerous problem for families using gas dryers. Without sufficient exhaust, gas dryers with clogged vents can release harmful carbon monoxide fumes into homes. This odorless gas can cause serious health concerns, in some cases, death due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Animal Droppings
Naturally, animals seek safe places to protect themselves and their offspring from the elements. Unfortunately, we often see critters attempt to build homes or nests in air ducts and dryer vents. Once there, they spawn and leave droppings. Inhaling dust contaminated with rodents and bird droppings is extremely harmful to your family. Bacterias in animal droppings have been known to cause various viruses and illnesses.
