How to clean a ceiling fan and when to do it

Ceiling fans are great for cooling down a room, but they also gather dust like crazy.

Warm weather and ceiling fans go hand-in-hand. The hotter the days, the longer the fans run — and the more that dust collects on the edges of the blades.

Unless you want clumps to fling around every time you turn it on, you need to start dusting those blades!

How to clean ceiling fans without a lot  of mess 👍

The other method involves climbing a ladder. It’s harder, but you can take care of several chores while you’re up there: cleaning the blades, the motor, the fan’s direction, light bulbs and glass shades.

• Before turning off the fan, notice if it’s spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise. If you haven’t done so already, switch the direction the fan spins to accommodate the season. Clockwise warms a room; counter-clockwise cools it.
• For extremely dirty blades or kitchen fan blades that are caked with grease, wipe with a damp cloth first to remove dust and dirt. Then apply an all propose cleaner , or whatever cleaner is recommended by the fan manufacturer, to a sponge or cloth and wipe each blade to remove grease. Rinse cloth after cleaning each blade and repeat as needed, then wipe each blade dry. if you don’t want to have all this dust in your fans you need to pass a duster twice a month or 2-3 times ayear  guess what The Tx Maids 😉 can help you do it for you in your deep cleaning services.
• Motor: Wipe the pull chain and the motor housing with a clean cloth. Spray motor housing with compress air to remove interior dust.
• Light bulbs: Change light bulbs as needed. If bulbs are still working, wipe them with a dry microfiber towel to remove dust. A clean bulb shines at least 20 percent brighter than a dirty one.
• Glass globe or shades: Remove and wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely before replacing. Make sure the mounting screws are tight so the glass won’t rattle or shake while the fan is on.
