Mike Zalac Makes Career Change, to "Dryer Vent Cleaning" Lapeer, MI Customers Appreciate Safety Tips

Sept. 20, 2008 - PRLog -- Lapeer, MI -. Mike Zalac traded his former carreer for a logo-ed uniform to own and operate a Dryer Vent Wizard, Safe Homes, Dry Clothes (DVW) franchise in Southeast, Michigan.

DVW specializes in dryer vent maintenance to prevent dryer fires, keep dryers functioning properly and provide energy savings through proper dryer vent cleaning, repair, replacement and alterations.

When Mike decided he didn’t want continue his present career and he wasn’t ready to retire, he looked into franchising. Having many years of business related skills behind him gave him a wealth of experience on which to draw. He researched several concepts and found Dryer Vent Wizard Dry Clothes, Safe Homes.  Mike liked their unique name and he found the concept intriguing.
   
“I liked that DVW provided much needed solutions to consumers’ dryer and dryer vent problems which ultimately prevents dryer fires,” says Mike.  “I find this career very rewarding when I arrive just in time to correct fire hazards and educate my customers on proper dryer vent cleaning and maintenance.”   

According to Mike, consumer response to DVW has been positive, although a big part of what he does is educating.  “When consumers find their dryer taking more than one cycle to dry a load, they assume it is normal and the dryer is old and worn out when the real problem is lint accumulation in the dryer vent, causing the dryer to work inefficiently and become fire hazard,” says Zalac.  
   
In an effort to make consumers more aware, Mike shares these maintenance “tips” to prevent dryer fires and keep dryers running efficiently.  He urges consumers to be sure their dryer vent systems are up to code with the city, state and manufacturer, to replace any plastic or foil vents with semi-rigid or solid metal venting material, to keep lint trays clean and free of lint between loads, wash lint screens every few months to remove residue build-up from fabric softeners, and to have the dryer vent system professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year.  Mike also makes sure all his customers know not to leave the house or go to sleep with the dryer running.  

Mike advises his customers to watch for warning signs of potential fire hazards, like clothes taking more than one cycle to dry, no visible lint on the screen between loads, dryer repeatedly stopping during a cycle and clothes having a moldy smell after drying.
