Ceiling fan cleaning tip: Nana’s brilliant tip

Next, with all blades removed and the pillowcase facing out, turn it inside out and shake off any dust. Then, wash the pillowcase in the washing machine for next time.
Why the trick works

This cleaning method is ingenious when held in your hands and placed in the center of your head. The soft fabric of the pillowcase won’t scratch the fan blades, and the slight moisture attracts dust more effectively than a dry duster. Then, the top and bottom of each blade are cleaned in a single pass, eliminating the need for multiple passes.

Additional tips for maintaining
a dust-free fan: Regular cleaning: To prevent the buildup of thick layers of dust, clean your ceiling fans at least once a month. Regular cleaning makes each session faster and easier.
Use microfiber cloths for spot cleaning: Between deep cleanings, quickly wipe your shoulder blades with a microfiber cloth. Microfiber traps dust without releasing it into the air.
Consider using dust sprays: After cleaning, you can spray your shoulder blades with a dust spray to keep them cleaner longer.
Using the fan in winter: If you set the fan to reverse mode (to circulate warm air) in winter, be sure to clean the blades before changing direction. This will prevent dust from being blown into the room.
