210-955-9600Ceiling fans are a household essential, providing a refreshing breeze that cools our skin and keeps air circulating to maintain comfortable living spaces. Besides their functional benefits, they add a decorative touch to our homes.
dust and grease can accumulate on ceiling fans, reducing their efficiency and potentially spreading allergens. Whether you’re dealing with a dusty bedroom fan, a greasy kitchen exhaust fan, or a fan perched on a super-high ceiling, cleaning them can seem daunting. But fear not!
In this brief article brought to you by Mr. Electric, we explore the techniques and tools to help you keep your ceiling fans pristine and running smoothly. If the issue is deeper than dust, then call Mr. Electric to hire a certified electrician. Our team is on standby to address questions and concerns you may have.
Before you start, make sure the fan is turned off. If possible, turn off the power at the circuit breaker to prevent any accidental activation.
Next, you'll need a ladder or step stool, a pillowcase (yes), a microfiber cloth, a cleaning solution (a mix of water and mild dish soap works well), and a duster. For particularly stubborn grime, a bit of vinegar can be helpful.
Finally, remember to place a drop cloth or old sheet under the fan to catch falling dust and debris. This will help in making cleanup easier.
Grab a pillowcase and climb up safely using your ladder or step stool until you can comfortably reach the fan blades. Slip a pillowcase over one blade, enclosing it completely. Press the pillowcase against the blade and gently pull it back, trapping dust inside. This prevents dust from flying around the room. Shake out the pillowcase outside and repeat for each blade.
Next, dampen a microfiber cloth with your cleaning solution and wipe down each blade, removing any remaining residue.Dry the blades with a clean, dry cloth to prevent streaks and water spots.
Kitchen exhaust fans are prone to grease buildup, which can be tougher to clean than ordinary dust. Here’s how to handle it:
Some ceiling fan issues are deeper than the dust on the blades. If your ceiling fan is making unusual noises, shaking or trembling, or intermittently shutting off, then call Mr. Electric to request affordable ceiling fan repair today.
