Life is fabulous!

"The guy that fixes appliances went into the dryer 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, ran hot water over it. Now, the lint filter is made of a mesh material

 - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like. WELL.....the hot 

water just sat on top of the mesh!!! It didn't go through it at all!!! He told us

 that dryer sheets cause a film over the mesh, that's what burns out the 

heating unit.  You can't SEE the film, but it's there.  This is also what causes 

dryer units to catch fire potentially burn your house down with it! He said the 

best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time & to keep your 

electric bill lower is to take that filter out & wash it with hot soapy water 

& an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that 

makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!"...and it really is true!  This

was quoted from  friends email.  Great advice, try it!
