VIDEO: A dryer maintenance company in Kansas helped break a Guinness World Record.
Dryer Vent Wizard is one of many franchises that has spent the past few months collecting dryer lint to help construct the world’s largest lint ball.
Harold Bert, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard of Kansas City West, said it’s all part of an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of dryer fires. “Being able to participate in creating the world’s largest lint ball was an incredibly rewarding experience,” Bert said. “Dryer vent safety is a serious home maintenance issue that needs to be addressed.”
The lint from more than 9,000 communities was sent to the company’s corporate team in Farmington Hills, Michigan, where it weighed in at 690 pounds.
Local fire crews set the ball ablaze to show just how flammable dryer lint is.
