Lint in the Dryer

Your laundry could be a ticking time bomb. That “harmless” fuzz in your dryer? It’s actually one of the top hidden fire hazards in American homes. Every year, about 2,900 house fires start from built-up lint that catches fire when the dryer overheats — turning wash day into a nightmare. Don’t gamble with it: clean the lint trap after every load. One minute of laziness could mean your house in flames.
