CLEVELAND - A major cause of clothes dryer fires -- which spike during winter months -- is often ignored until fire breaks out.

A recent report from the U.S. Fire Administration estimates there are 2,900 clothes dryer fires every year, causing five deaths, 100 injuries and $35 million in property loss.

Heavy clothes, sweaters and blankets used during winter months shed much more lint and create fire hazards during winter months.

But cleaning the lint trap alone is not enough to prevent fires.

Just last October, a dryer fire nearly destroyed Kimberly Ness' home.

"That room was pretty much gone," said Ness, looking at what was left of her charred laundry room.

Fire investigators say cleaning the lint trap is just a first step. The real buildup of lint happens out of sight and is overlooked by most consumers.

Vent cleaning experts and officials with the North Eastern Ohio Fire Prevention Association, NEOFPA, said that lint buildup can quietly accumulate over yearsand trigger fires.

Rick Strah operates Advanced Air Duct Solution, Inc., a company specializing in dryer vent cleaning.

"Just building up in here," said Strah after taking the back cover off of one dryer.

About the Max II Dual Tank ULV Fogger

A fogger is an essential piece of gear in various industries, including Jan-San, Fire and Flood Restoration, Pest Control, Carpet Cleaning and Air Duct Cleaning. The Max II Dual Tank Fogger was designed with the goal in mind of saving a workers time and space. In a traditional scenario, multiple foggers can be needed on a job, each containing a different solution.

Air Duct Cleaning and Fire Restoration are industries which require that multiple solutions be used on a single job. Its not uncommon for a technician to make extra trips up and down a ladder for refilling the fogger tank, or switching to a different solution. The only other option is to carry two separate foggers. Eliminating the extra trip and/or cargo, as the case may be, is of great benefit to the person doing the job.

In any service business, efficiency is critical. Completing a job in the shortest amount of time possible means more jobs, and more money. Here is a product that will help to reduce your labor cost, while also reducing how much equipment is required on a job.

Heavy clothes, sweaters and blankets used during winter months shed much more lint and create a fire hazards during winter months.

But cleaning the "lint trap" alone is not enough to prevent fires.

Fire investigators say cleaning the lint trap is just a first step the real buildup of lint happens out of sight and is overlooked by most consumers.

We teamed up with vent cleaning experts and a fire prevention association, to reveal how lint buildup over years can quietly accumulate and trigger fires.

Rick Strah operates Advanced Air Duct Solution, Inc., a company specializing in dryer vent cleaning.

"Just building up in here," saidStrahafter taking the back cover off of one dryer.

"All your electrical wiring is all coated in this stuff."

It also builds up inside the vent tubing leading to the outside.

Strah used a high powered vacuum that suctioned huge piles of lint buildup, which over time actually clogs vents from functioning properly.

MOUNT HOLLY, N.C. -- A 79-year-old woman said she needed to Get McGinty after an air duct cleaning company sold her expensive products, she now claims she didnt want or need. Did the company take advantage her? The womans family thinks so.

Companies that clean the air ducts in your house do so to help you improve the quality of the air you breathe. One such company is Indoor Air Quality, and they did some work at Peggy Broomes house in December.

They cleaned eight of her air ducts for $660, and sold her a $199 washable electrostatic filter. But before they left, they also sold Peggy an $1,100 ultra violet solar light that would sanitize the air inside the ductwork. Peggy doesnt have any pets and her house isnt all that big, so her daughter didnt think it was necessary and felt like her mother might have been taken advantage of.

I was shocked at the amount. I looked at the bill and my jaw dropped, said Malia Alexander, Peggys daughter.

The bill totaled $2,114.84 for a two-hour service call. Peggys family did some investigating and found the same light on EBay for $116, and I found an electrostatic washable filter at home depot for under 35 bucks.

I contacted the managers at Indoor Air Quality this week and raised these very questions. They told me that Peggy was aware of what she was buying and her signature on the work order proves it. But, as an act of good faith toward their customer, the company is now offering Peggy a refund of $800 and she is expecting the check by early next week.
