How to Clean Your Ceiling Fans.

A ceiling fan can get very dirty and is often overlooked as it is above eye level. If dust is noticed on the blades of the ceiling fan, the top of the blades maybe think in dust.

You only need a sturdy step ladder, a few clean clothes and pledge or spray and wipe to give your fans a great clean. Stand on a stepladder where you can reach the blades comfortably. It is not important to see the top of the blade but do check you can reach the blade with ease. Using a microfiber cloth, wipe the blades from the middle near the motor to the outer edge. The dust will stick to the microfiber cloth. Ok if it is years and years of dust than it will fall to the floor for you to vacuum up after.

After you have dusted the blade, damp wipe the blade with a clean cloth which has a little of your cleaning spray on. Don’t forget to wipe the underneath of the blade.
Rotate the fan so you can reach the next blade and repeat process until all blades are clean.

Each week when cleaning, wipe the blades with an extendable feather duster, this will control the dust that collects on the blades.
