🔥 Winter Fire Safety Series 🔥
Risk #1: Forgetting to empty the lint filter in your tumble dryer
When was the last time you emptied the lint filter in your dryer? 60% of Australians don’t clean the filter after each use*, including 29% who have never emptied it!! 😱
Dryer use increases in winter, so does the household fire risk.
Stay safe and follow our tips for safe dryer use:
📌Follow manufacturer instructions and empty the lint filter after each use
📌The dryer vent pipe should also be cleaned of lint every three months
📌Never leave a dryer on while away from home. It might convenient to do so, but could be difference between quickly detecting a fire versus a home being destroyed.
💦 Now is the time to prepare for winter, invest in fire blankets, extinguishers and evacuation plans.
🔔 Also check you have adequate home and contents insurance cover and your sum insured is up to date.
