Improved Efficiency Following Laundry Duct Clean
A gas safety inspection found a care home's dryer ducting heavily blocked with lint. We cleaned both duct runs and corrected ducting that had been fitted wrongly.
The problem
During a gas safety inspection in the laundry at one of our care home customers, we found the dryer ducting heavily blocked with lint. As well as hurting the dryers' efficiency, a build-up like this is a major fire risk.
What we did
We carried out a full duct clean of both duct runs from the dryers. We also carried out remedial works where the ducting had been incorrectly installed with flexible ducting.
The result
The photographs show how much lint came out of the two duct runs. Have your ducting checked and cleaned regularly to keep your dryers, and your laundry, running efficiently and safely.
