Laundry exhaust ductwork and internal components build up layers of lint from the tumbling dryers and deposits of wax from the ironing machines. These deposits are extremely flammable. We thoroughly clean these systems with various methods including our 'SPIN CLEAN' process.
Laundry exhausts experience build-up on a frequent basis and should be cleaned to limit risk of fire as demonstrated by a recent marine incident report:
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of fire aboard the [ship] was the unauthorized welding by crew members in the main laundry that ignited a large accumulation of lint in the ventilation system and the failure of [the cruise line] to maintain the laundry exhaust ducts in a fire-safe condition.
Properly maintaining laundry and general exhaust systems are vital in keeping the efficiency of fans at an optimal level and to reduce hazards caused by accumulations of lint and wax deposits within the system.
These textile lint accumulations within laundry tumbling dryers and waxy deposits within ironer exhaust systems can build up rapidly without regular maintenance and cleaning. Our certified technicians apply company-specialized procedures to remove all lint and wax build-ups caused by regular use. We handle all parts of the exhaust systems including horizontal ductwork, vertical trunking and scroll cage exhaust fans.
Our thoroughness and professionalism will ensure that all of your systems are hazard free.
