Tips to Clean Ceiling Fans:-
- First, cover the surface above which your ceiling fan hangs. For example, if your fan is above your bed then cover the bed with a wrap or sheet. This will prevent dust from getting there. Make sure the ceiling fans are switched off.
- Stand on a surface where your head is above the blades. Don’t forget to wear masks and gloves. Take a clean and discarded pillowcase. Swipe it in and out through each blade. Be gentle and do not put too much pressure on decorative ceiling fans. Shake the dust of the pillowcase before washing it.
- Clean the other areas like nooks, crannies, glass shades, motor, etc with a microfiber cloth.
- Also, you can take advantage of this situation or opportunity and change the direction of your ceiling fan. Since summers are here they need to rotate anti-clockwise.
- You can also buy an extendable duster with a flexible head to make things easier. It helps in reaching out to fans that are installed at a greater height very easily.
- Some dusters come with special attachments that can clean every corner and side of your fan.
- You can also apply the traditional technique of taking out the fan, separating the blades and thorough cleaning with damp clothes. Oil or lubricate the motor in this process.
- Vacuum cleaners can help too. The modern day’s vacuum cleaner comes with advanced technology and particular heads that caters to all your cleaning needs. As a result, you can easily make your high-speed ceiling fan shine again.
- To get utmost shine and cleanliness use a cleaner or dusting spray. But, make sure your fan has no electricity reaching to the fan while you are cleaning it. Spray some liquid and wipe it with a clean cloth.
