> 17. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
>
> The heating unit went out on my dryer! The
> gentleman that fixes things around the house for us
> told us that he wanted to show us something and he
> went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint
> filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from
> the filter after every load clothes.) He told us
> that he wanted to show us something; he took the
> filter over to the sink, ran hot water over it. The
> lint filter is made of a mesh material - I'm sure
> you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.
> WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It
> didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer
> sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns
> out the heating unit. You can't SEE the film , but
> it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make
> your clothes soft and static free - that nice
> fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when
> you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds
> up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is
> also what causes dryer units to catch fire &
> potentially burn your house down with it! He said
> the best way to keep your dryer working for a very
> long time (& to keep your electric bill lower) is to
> take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water
> & an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every
> six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer
> at least twice as long!
>
> How about that? Learn something new every day! I
> certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.
> So, I thought I'd share! Note: I went to my dryer &
> tested my screen by running water on it. The water
> ran through a little bit but mostly collected all
> the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm
> soapy water & a nylon brush & I had it done in 30
> seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran right
> Thru the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all!
> That repairman knew what he was talking about!

> PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
