We just celebrated Fire Prevention Day on Oct. 8 (Columbus Day), and the month of October is Fire Prevention Month (see related story on ways to prevent fires in your home). 

McCombs Supply is teaming with Dundas Jafine to educate consumers and homeowners on the dangers of dryer fires and ways to prevent this issue.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, the number one reason dryer fires start is failure to clean dryer transition ducts. Dryer fires are the source of more than14,000 fires per year, resulting in over 9 deaths, 420 injuries, and more than $222 million in property damages.

Dundas Jafine currently has the I Cleaned My Dryer Duct Challenge, where you share a picture of the lint collected after cleaning it for a chance to win one of five $50 Visa Prepaid Gift Card. Remember to tag your post using these hashtags:

McCombs sells several lint dryer products that will clean and prevent lint build up, including lint traps and lint screens. 

The Dundas Jafine ProClean Dryer Duct Lint Trap number PCLT4WZW acts as a secondary lint trap for your electric clothes dryer and is not intended for use with gas clothes dryers. It sells for $13.90. 

This product helps to eliminate excess lint within the duct, reducing the risk of dryer fire occurring and allowing the air to pass more easily through the duct, saving energy as the dryer runs more efficiently and in turn helping to reduce your home energy costs.

The clear door (see photo on right) gives an unobstructed view of the lint screen which should be removed and cleaned after each load of laundry.

Here is a video showing the lint trap in use.

You can replace the lint screen for $5 with the 33001808 dryer lint screen for Whirlpool WP33001808, AP6007948 and PS11741075. It is 12-3/8" Wide, 7-5/8" High. 

This fits newer made Whirlpool models including Neptune dryers.

Great value and price. It looks just the one that came with my dryer and the screen is actually a stronger material, that may last longer.  - From customer JT on June 10, 2017

The BPCK Dryer Vent Venting Duct Cleaning Lint Trap Removal Brush Vacuum Kit increases the dryers performance and reduces the risk of dryer vent fire by removing lint build up in all areas of the dryer. Cost: $17.50. 

Brush It Off

Need a good brush for cleaning out lint?  

The PCABXZW Refrigerator, Dryer Appliance Coil Lint Brush by Pro Clean Dundas Jafine works great. 

It measures overall length of 28 inches and the brush measures 13 inches and is tapered. 

Cost: $3.99

Difficult To Reach

For the hard to access lint, the Dundas Jafine's Drill Powered Duct Brush can be used to help remove lint build up and debris in your dryer duct and other general ducting. This brush can be used manually or attached to a drill for increased power. 

The flexible nylon rods allow for up to 90 degree turns. Cost:$25.20.

Pest Control

Dundas Jafines ProShield Exhaust Hood features a round design that is unique to the market. 

The innovative spring loaded damper system offers complete noise control with no flapping louvers or dampers in harsh weather conditions.

Pests will also no longer be an issue as the damper system prohibits pests or rodents from entering the vent. 

When the appliance is turned off, the damper is pulled to a secure, closed position. Cost: $14.80.
