Here’s a useful home management tip. Routine cleaning of your clothes dryer machine helps maintain and keep it running safely and smoothly. It is recommended you unplug the dryer, wash the heat exchanger, clean the lint filter, drum, seals, and moisture sensors, in addition to emptying and washing the water tank every 3–6 months. If you have a vented dryer, then the exhaust hose also needs to be cleaned to avoid blockage and overheating. Sometimes even mold and bad odors can develop due to poor ventilation. You may notice a burnt smell if there’s lint accumulation from a blocked lint filter. If these steps are not taken, then it will waste electricity and decrease the machine’s efficiency and lifespan, while increasing the fire risk.
Let’s have a little chuckle together with our joke of the day entitled, “Saving Money the Expensive Way.”
Cal, a bargain-obsessed customer, marched into an auto parts store looking for a flat washer.
“That’ll be fifteen cents.”
“Fifteen cents?! For a washer? Are you out of your mind?”
“It’s heavy-duty steel.”
“Forget it. I’ll drill a hole in a quarter and make my own.”
“Great. Let me know if you need a drill bit for thirty-nine cents.”
?!
