Easy, quick and no mess way is to wrap each blade ( like a bandage) with 1 long paper towel (5-10 sheets attached). Using a spray bottle with household cleaner, saturate the towels and let set for 5-10 min to loosen the dirt and dust. Then use the pillow case method to remove the towels.
Just a reminder to clean your ceiling fan ever 3 months or sooner if you can see dust building. You may breathe in the dust, so if it has been 6 months since you uploaded this, check your fans and air vents!
I guess you didnt know that there are anti dust spray. Anti dust spray is to use on new item, or newly cleaned item, it works as dust repellent, dust will not stick on the surface, we can just dust it off with feather duster.
This is exactly what I do, I take windex, hopefully the $ store, but that is ok, there is so many uses for windex, that I'am always buying for something. And yes, I have to stop it, and climb on whatever to get the job done, and my ceiling fan is in the kitchen over the k. table, heaven forbid and don't forget the area around the ceiling where the dust also collects. Great video hands on and helpful .
Thank you for saying you just didn’t want to do it bcuz I thought it was just me while I sit here sneezing for the hundredth time and have the nerve to have an air purifier going too 😂😂😂. Gonna finally go do this. Thank you ❤
I had a professional cleaner tell me once to clean ceiling fans as well as blinds with spray furniture cleaner. It apparently produces an anti static surface that repels dust!
I simply ask my electrician to come and unscrew the main nut and bolt attached to ceiling. Then on ground it takes 15 min to clean. He hangs the fan again. He doesn't remove blades, but clean the attached blades. He charges Rs 100 to Rs 125 ( US $ 1.2 to 1.5), which is not expensive if not free. It's a very convenient and cleans the fan as if it's new one.
I use a swiffer 360 and just do it most of the time when I dust in the room. Sometimes when it is more dusty I will use the vacuum hose attachment and then do the deep clean like you did💜
Good to see you! I like the Swiffer 360 idea for regular maintenance. I currently don't have anything that can reach my bedroom fan so will need to look into something.
I use Lysol wipes to clean the buildup off of the edges, then I’ll spray the top and underside with pledge. I’m actually going to record my cleaning today to upload it next week
First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you for being so honest and open! 😀 I have a living room fan that's just as bad as the one in your bedroom....well maybe, not THAT bad, but it bad. 😬Lol! You being honest let me know that I'm only human LOL, I mean it's hard to get up that high- super high to clean it. I'll need a ladder. I'm wondering if you had to turn off the power before cleaning it. just asking to be safe. I've been having some breathing issues so maybe you should have put on a mask too. Thanks for the video! :-)
I hope you were able to get yours cleaned up! No, I didn’t do anything more than turn the power switch off. A mask would be a good idea with all the dust. I appreciate your comment. We’re all human and have struggles, some have more time or help than others but it’s hard to get everything done with all our responsibilities. You can be sure this isn’t the only spot I struggle with! 🙈😂 Don’t ever feel bad, just do what you can. ❤️
I use the attachment from my vacuum first. I also spread out an old king sized sheet to try & catch the dust that gets away then I just fold it up & shake it out outside. Then I use the cleaning product. I’d like to say I do this once a month but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just took my blades off cause I’m trying to figure out if I can fix the wobble and the flickering light problem. These ceilings fans came with my house that I bought 20 years ago and they weren’t brand new then. I’ll let you know how washing them in the sink and reinstalling works.
you can remove each blade by taking two screws out at the motor cover the blades with plastic bag before removing the screws, take out side and spray off dust with water or air hose than reinstall.
I vacuum my blades gets the bulk off, then I hit it with an damp rag or Lysol wipe, if it's smearing dirt use an paper towel or micro fiber, if you do it monthly it won't be an multi step process. Bi monthly is ok if you don't use your ceiling fans as much.
1:17 the way I clean my three sets of ceiling fan is , believe it or not, with Oven Stain Remover & lots of paper towel 🧻 and a sponge. I cook every single day and so when I cook , the oil and the food stains I believe just flies all over the place here in my house. So I have to get up there 👆 all the time to remove that pound cake of dust , dirt and oil hanging up there🥲…. It’s incredible! 😮
Damp cleaning towel or someone strong to stand on a ladder with vacuum and dusting tool . Schedule on calendar to change your furnace filter every few months .
Your fan needs a long bristle hand held scrubbing brush first to knock out the initial dust. Then use a mix of dawn dish soap and vinegar and a throw away rag to wipe all the blades. Then you can clean the fan 😂 use a micro fiber cloth dipped in Fabric softener to wipe the blades and fan. The dust can can be caught by laying an old sheet on the bed or floor area and then shake well outside and then launder to get it clean. I call this the cleaning Then CLEANING method!! 😂
The way I have done it is i had my fiance remove the blades and i basically washed them and screwed them back in. Now I'm trying to maybe find a easier way It's really hard for me to reach it with no latter.
I just take off my fan blades off my fan and get window spray and spray them and then I put it back on like it’s the new normal I also normally clean my fans like once a month because my fan gets pretty dusty after a month!
I'm here to see other people totally lose it while having to clean ceiling fans.... I absolutely hate it, I rather clean toilets, I remove the blades by the way
I got new ceiling fans put in almost a year ago, but I’m already seeing the dust forming. In order for me to clean them, I’d need a step ladder, because I’m short, so that’s why I’m procrastinating.
Hi Heather! I get it! I was on the 4th step of a ladder in our bedroom. 😳 If you can find a way to get up there to dust sooner than later, it will be easier each time! 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting!
You've come a long ways from your coin saving challenge vids...how is your other channel doing? Do you still save coins? What can we expect from this channel or the other one?
Damm gross. I want to see the rest of the house. Spray the blades with vinegar and water mixture. Then wipe in 1 sweeping motion. ( vinegar is a natural deodorant. )

Thank you for being so honest about not wanting to do it, made me feel better. Now off to clean my own with this method!

Thanks for the reminder, I did clean them again after reading your comment. They were not bad at all! 😀
Clearing Clutter for Clarity Wooo you go girl!
Ha ha, thank you! :)
Its been 2 yrs smh lol omg I'm just now watching this vid for the first time
In Malaysia… we clean it with a wet cloth. The dust will clump together and drop on the floor. Then we swipe the floor and after that we mop the floor
I use a microfiber dusting mitt from dollar tree. Then shake the dust in the trash can. Works great!
I guess you didnt know that there are anti dust spray. Anti dust spray is to use on new item, or newly cleaned item, it works as dust repellent, dust will not stick on the surface, we can just dust it off with feather duster.
I suppose I should try that, thank you!
This video was very insightful on how to clean the fan blades when they have a lot of dust and grime.
Thank you!

I just use a damp rag. I hop up there and wipe it every other Wednesday.
You are amazing! I need that kind of discipline. 😀
Thank you for saying you just didn’t want to do it bcuz I thought it was just me while I sit here sneezing for the hundredth time and have the nerve to have an air purifier going too 😂😂😂. Gonna finally go do this. Thank you ❤

I really envy the angels in heaven because they *never have to vacuum* and deal with dust bunnies 🐇🐇🐇🐇
Yo! This mess actually worked and cut the springtime cleaning part down some time. Thanks for the tip🫡✌️

Going through this right now. My fan looks just like this. You’re not alone.
It’s life! Hope you got it taken care of. ☺️

That sounds like a great way to clean fans! I should get some Pledge. 😆
I use a wet cloth and it works much better than a duster and doesn’t get everywhere.I also wear a dust mask when I do mine.

Bimonthly means twice a month

What I want to know is how to get the light cover off?
I once had that problem and what I did was bought a new felling fan
They make a duster specifically for the ceiling fan blades, its like an oval with a hole at Lowes.
Hi Yolanda! Thanks! I think I’ve seen those. Sounds like a good idea for upkeep once the blades are deep cleaned! ✨🥰
Mircofiber towels, bucket of hot water , gloves, and pinesol
I can smell the PineSol from here! ☺️
I use soapy water and I do it ones a month..
Using water will corpse the wings or flaps
Easier way is just ask ur husband to do it 😁🙌
I ask my significant other to do it and he never did.
The way I have done it is i had my fiance remove the blades and i basically washed them and screwed them back in. Now I'm trying to maybe find a easier way It's really hard for me to reach it with no latter.
Maybe now that you washed them you can just dust regularly with one of those extending dusters. 😀 Removing the blades sounds like a lot of work.
BABY WIPES HUGGIES
That’s a good way if you don’t have a lot of dust!
Microfiber cloth attracts dust. If cleaning it with a regular cloth you’re just moving the rust around.
Oh no, we don’t want dust clouds!
I just using a wet paper towel to clean my dusty ceiling fan.
I just take off my fan blades off my fan and get window spray and spray them and then I put it back on like it’s the new normal I also normally clean my fans like once a month because my fan gets pretty dusty after a month!
It must be easy to take the blades off, I haven’t tried that. Good idea to clean then once a month, they do get dusty fairly quickly.

Dryer sheets only!!!
Bruh my house ceiling fan is 4m high 😭😭
What I do to clean my ceiling fans is I take the blades off and clean them with a paper towel and water
Damn
I have a ladder and clean my fan with a form and max bar and wash blades with water and dry them and then reinstall.
Sounds like a good system!
Nope nope nope. I clean all 8 of our fans every sunday morning! They move air much better clean
You've come a long ways from your coin saving challenge vids...how is your other channel doing? Do you still save coins? What can we expect from this channel or the other one?

Any plans for new declutter videos in 2021, T? I hope so!! Hope you're well :)
😮
Please, come back.
We use a microfibre duster that grabs all the dust then wipe it down with a slightly damp microfibre towel
Never clean them. Just use a air purifier instead. 0 Dust
just use colin glass cleaner for fan easy to clean with a shine . dry moulds can cause allergy issues. pls use face mask for safety. thank u
What year your born?
Sneaky sneaky! 😉
@@clearingclutterforclarity1508 😮🤔
Large damp towel
Perfect! No falling dust bunnies. 😀
Apply Lysol and wipe
Great for germs! 🤗
That’s my fan what I’m talking about is my fan is dirty and yours
Dusty fans, mine needs another dusting. 🤪
I use a vacuum
That’s a superpower! 🤗
Shop vac😁
Whoa, that's hefty! I guess if it works though! 😁
Wear a mask
That’s a good idea with so much dust!
