BE SAFE

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
>
> The clothes dryer stopped drying. The repairman went
> to the dryer and pulled
> out the lint filter. It was clean. We always
> clean the lint from the
> filter after every load of clothes.
>
>
>
>
> He told us that he wanted to show us something. He
> took the filter over to
> the sink, and ran hot water over it.
>
> I am sure you know what your dryer's lint filter
> looks like. WELL...the hot
> water just sat on top of the screen! It did not go
> through it at all!
>
> He told us that dryer sheets cause a waxy film to
> build up over the screen,
> and this does not let the air pass through, so the
> heating unit overheats and
> burns out.
>
> You cannot SEE the film, but it's there. This is
> also what causes dryer's
> to catch fire, and potentially burn your house down
> with it!
>
> He said the best way to keep your dryer working for
> a very long time (and to
> keep your electric bill lower because your clothes
> will dry faster), is to
> clean that filter after every load, and wash it
> with hot soapy water with an
> old toothbrush (or other brush) every three months.
> He said that makes the life of the dryer at least
> twice as long!
>
> How about that! Learn something new everyday!
>
> I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.
> So, I thought I'd share!
>
> NOTE: I went to my dryer & tested my screen by
> running water on it. The
> water ran thru a little bit but mostly collected all
> the water in the mesh
> screen. I washed it with warm soapy water & a nylon
> brush & I had it done in 30
> seconds. Then when I rinsed it the water ran right
> thru the screen! There
> wasn't any puddle of water at all!
>
> That repairman knew what he was talking about!
>
> PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS
> BOOK. NOT ONLY COULD IT
> SAVE SOMEONE'S HOME, BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S
> LIFE

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

To all dads...

Houston Astrodome

Soon this 7th wonder of the world will become a 1200 room hotel with restaurants, night clubs and water falls. A luxury if you visit the reliant staduium for rodeo or a Houston Texan's game...
