Latest Breaking News - Home Improvement - Viewing: How To Clean And Dust A Ceiling Fan The Safe Way

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Ceiling fans are great. They help to circulate the air all year through, plus they look pretty. But they do have one big problem: they collect dust! That dust is not only unsightly, but it can also cause problems for those with allergies. Regular care and cleaning can keep your ceiling fan fresh and dust-free. Now, that wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that they are attached to your ceiling and can be a real hassle to clean.

Want to learn the fast and easy way to clean your ceiling fans? Here are a few pointers to get you started:

· Begin by covering your furniture, beds and tables with blankets and sheets to protect them against flying dust before you tackle this important cleaning job. It may seem like a lot of work to cover everything in your room before cleaning those ceiling fans, but it will be worth the effort - trust me.

· Select what type of dusting implements you will use: clothes, sprays, dusters, etc. What you use doesn't matter, just be sure you have it ready.

· Set up a step stool that can help you reach your ceiling fans with ease. Most of us are simply not tall enough to reach the top of our fan's blades without help. While it may be tempting to stand on a chair, the bed, or (gasp) even jump, to reach these high places, avoid the temptation. You'll only end up making a bigger mess; missing the spots you need to get to anywhere or breaking something - maybe even yourself! Instead, get an inexpensive step stool that can elevate you to the right height. It's the safest and easiest way to reach every corner of your ceiling fan.

· Dust away! Once you can reach your ceiling fan blades (thanks to your trusty step stool), feel free to dust like you have never dusted before. Be sure to dust both sides of the blades and in all the small spaces, too.

· Climbing down from your step stool you will likely feel a sense of accomplishment that has eluded you in the past. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Then, roll up those covers protecting your furniture and toss them in the washing machine. A quick wash will take all of that dust away once and for all.

· Your final step to dusting your ceiling fans is to put all of your supplies away. Remember, to hang your step stool back on the peg where you got it so it is easy to find and grab when you need it again.

Now that you know the safest and easiest way to clean a ceiling fan, you can get going on your own blades in the house.
