Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Clean the lint screen in your dryer before each use
“The lint that collects in the filter prevents air from flowing efficiently through the dryer, forcing it to work harder to dry your clothes. Cleaning the lint screen can reduce your energy bill by up to 30%. More importantly, it can also help prevent a fire from starting in your dryer.”
Wow. I’m horrible about this one. I clean my lint filter once a week, if that. Maybe this tip will help me change my ways!
