Homes across the UK could be playing host to tumble dryers full of fire-risk lint, as figures reveal millions of us never clean the lint filter of our tumble dryers.
A survey of more than 4,500 adults across the UK found 1 in 20 (5%) admit to never cleaning the lint filter on their tumble dryer, the equivalent of more than 2 million people across the UK.
Brits are being urged to add their tumble dryer to their spring-cleaning list and clean their lint, after new financial figures also reveal the costly impact a tumble dryer fire can have.
