Dryer Vent Cleaning Chicago

Professional Dryer Vent Cleaning Service in Chicago

There’s a wide variety of dryer vent types - and all of them need to be cleaned periodically! When dryers are used, lint, dirt, grime, and particulates build up within the vent - and the longer the dryer vent is, and the more it’s used, the more particulates will accumulate. We use high power vacuums, as well as EPA safe chemical compounds to ensure that your dryer vent will be fully cleaned of all dust and contaminants.

This will increase your energy efficiency, while also reducing the risk of health issues associated with microorganisms and allergens that can accumulate within your dryer vent.

Contact Air Flows Chicago today to organize rapid, convenient, and affordable home or business dryer vent cleaning. Our team also provides dryer vent cleaning service to a wide variety of other properties in the Chicagoland area, from institutions and hotels to apartment complexes and hospitals.
