ceiling fan

[tglass]

Is there an easy way to clean a ceiling fan without dropping all the dust and whatever all over everything underneath? Yes this is embarassing to ask, and no, my place is not filthy, but when someone has just washed the sheets and bed spread...well someone is going to catch more than the dust and clean the fan blades. Guess who is on the wrong end of the fan?

Vacuum sucking while dusting.or wet cleaning rag w/small trash can below as you wipe.

I use a damp cloth and wipe the blades with it. If I'm careful it will all stay on the cloth. You could hold some newspaper or cardboard underneath if you are afraid some will drop. Using a wood stove nearby seems to coat our fan with dust so the blades get cleaned several times a year.

you could remove each of the 3 screws holding on the 5 blades then take them outside hose-um-off although you did mention " easy way" so I'd go for the shopvac and the fan cleaner attachment,:thumbsup:

I use Wipe by Clorox. They are damp cloths with windex or I think the other type has bleach in it, that are great for dusting and cleaning up messes. I clean my blades a few times a year, and never noticed it being that difficult with them. It takes a Wipe to do a blade, because they are such massive dust collectors.
