11. Maintain washer and dryer. Cleaning dryer vents can be a task that you do yourself, but if you do not feel comfortable doing so (or if you are closing it), you may want to rent a supporter to maintain a washer and dryer for yourself. Washing-machine hoses need to be replaced periodically, and a cracked tube can cause a leakage-which can mean expensive damage to your home. Clean dryer vents and hoses will help your machine to function more efficiently and reduce the risk of fire.
