Daily Tumble dryer Filter Cleaning Record

Daily Tumble Dryer Filter Cleaning Record for care homes is a documentation tool designed to track and maintain the regular cleaning of the filter in a tumble dryer. Tumble dryers are household appliances that use hot air to dry clothes quickly, and they typically come equipped with a filter that captures lint and other debris generated during the drying process. Regular cleaning of the filter is essential to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and appliance safety.

This record serves as a systematic way to log each instance of cleaning the tumble dryer filter daily. It typically includes details such as the date, time, and the person responsible for performing the cleaning. Additionally, some records may include notes or comments to highlight any observations or issues related to the filter or the overall condition of the tumble dryer.

The purpose of maintaining a Daily Tumble Dryer Filter Cleaning Record is to promote a routine maintenance schedule, preventing the accumulation of lint that could lead to reduced dryer efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential fire hazards. This documentation helps homeowners, maintenance personnel, or anyone responsible for the upkeep of the tumble dryer to stay organized and attentive to the necessary cleaning tasks. Regular maintenance extends the appliance’s lifespan and contributes to its safe and efficient operation.

Instructions:

• The lint filters must be cleaned at least once a day.
• Open the door of the tumble dryer and locate the filter. It is usually located at the bottom of the dryer door or inside the drum.
• Remove the filter carefully and brush away any lint, dust, or debris you can see with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush.
• If there is any residue in the filter, take it out and wash it with soap and water, then dry it thoroughly before placing it back in the tumble dryer. Remember, the filter must be completely dry before putting it back in the dryer.
• The filter must be cleaned every day before using the tumble dryer. This is to prevent the build-up of lint and debris, which can cause the dryer to overheat and become a fire hazard.

Please record below who cleaned the filter and the date it was last cleaned.
