Cleaning Dust Off Ceiling Fans

Just put the open end of.

Cleaning dust off ceiling fans.

It should clean off the loose dust. For extremely dirty blades or kitchen fan blades that are caked with grease wipe with a damp cloth first to remove dust and dirt. If you can reach your ceiling fan blades safely with a ladder or step stool then this is an amazingly simple way to get the job done. Turn the fan and repeat on each blade.

However like any appliance ceiling fans collect dust and grime that can lead. You may need to be elevated to reach the top of the fan blades if you re short have high ceilings or if the dusting attachment on your vacuum doesn t have a curved structure. Then apply an all purpose cleaner or whatever cleaner is. Slide a pillowcase over each fan blade individually and use your hands to press the fabric against the top and bottom of the blade.

All the dusty gunk stays inside and all you have to do is shake out the pillowcase outside and toss it in the wash. Once you have the bulk of the dust off use your rag to wipe each blade and remove any residual dust. You can also use a 50 50 white vinegar and water mix. Extend the vacuum handle to reach the fan.

Use extendable fan dusters to dust both sides of the blades as well as the base. Try laying the fan flat on a sheet blades pointing up or down and pouring some clean dry sand or salt through the grills so that it brushes off the fan blades and then spills through to the sheet. Step 2 wipe the fan mount and housing with a damp cleaning cloth or microfiber cloth to remove dust working from the ceiling down toward the blades. Wear a dust mask and hairnet or cap when dusting underneath a ceiling fan to avoid inhaling dust particles.

Ceiling fans are a wonderful addition to any room offering a cool breeze and providing a pleasant decorative accent. Pull the pillowcase toward you along the blade. In less than 5 minutes your fan is clean. Then as you pull the pillowcase off the blade wipe all the dust from the top so it falls into the pillowcase.

Stand on a step stool or ladder to reach the fan blades.
