What Lake Forest does
to a dryer.

The city lies in a humid continental climate zone with four distinct seasons.

At the 2020 census Lake Forest had 7,671 housing units, 9.9 percent of them vacant.

From the 1950s the city's population rose sharply through aggressive real estate development and annexation of surrounding areas.

Older housing stock

Vent paths in older homes can be long and indirect, climbing through an attic, running under a floor or snaking along a basement ceiling, because nobody planned an exterior opening for them. Every extra bend slows drying and gives lint another place to settle.

Gated communities

Service in a gated community starts at the gate, with access arranged ahead of time through the owner or a house manager. Inside, the laundry room is often finished like any other room, so the repair is planned to protect the cabinetry and flooring around the dryer.

Pool and beach towels

Homes built around outdoor living send a steady stream of pool and beach towels through the dryer. Those loads are heavy and gritty, and sand or grass that slips past the lint screen ends up in the drum seals and the vent.
