02.5 Laundry & lint duct cleaning
Laundry & lint duct cleaning for hotels and hospitals
Who needs this
- Dryer cycle times increasing or machines overheating
- Lint visible at exhaust terminations or around machines
- Fire-risk assessment flagged the laundry exhaust
- On-premise laundry with no cleaning record for 12+ months
Standards note. Lint duct cleaning addresses the dryer-exhaust fire hazard recognised in fire-safety codes and insurer risk assessments for hospitality and healthcare laundries. Typical interval: 6–12 months depending on throughput.
How we do it
- 1
Inspection
Camera survey of the exhaust run; lint depth and any crushed or disconnected sections recorded.
- 2
Isolation
Dryers disconnected and made safe; work sequenced so part of the laundry line keeps running where layout allows.
- 3
Mechanical lint removal
Rotary brushing with HEPA-filtered extraction along the full run, including risers and horizontal sections where lint beds form.
- 4
Termination & damper check
Exhaust terminations, backdraft dampers and guards cleared — a blocked termination rebuilds the lint bed fastest.
- 5
Verification report
Post-clean camera pass with before/after photos and airflow observation, filed as your fire-safety evidence.
Proof, not promises
Every laundry & lint duct cleaning project closes with matched before/after photos and a written report. See the documented process and the evidence page for what that file looks like — or check the credentials behind it. Case-specific documentation is shared during scoping.
Laundry & lint duct cleaning — common questions
Why do laundry ducts catch fire?
Dryer exhaust carries fine lint that settles along the duct. Lint is highly combustible, and dryer heat or a spark can ignite the accumulated bed — one of the most common laundry fire causes in hotels and hospitals.
How often should dryer exhaust ducts be cleaned?
High-throughput laundries (hotels, hospitals) typically need cleaning every 6–12 months. The first camera inspection establishes your accumulation rate and sets the interval.
Does cleaning improve dryer performance?
Yes — a restricted exhaust extends drying cycles and raises energy use per load. Restoring free airflow shortens cycles; the effect is visible in cycle times immediately after cleaning.
