Thanks for the nice tip. My wife have been struggling in cleaning my fans since. I might tell her and try this one out.

That’s an excellent tip and one that I hadn’t thought of with the bottom sheet. We typically use one of those extending swiffers but that doesn’t forgoe the problem with the runaway bunnies. Still does well just every once in a while you get a stray. I’ll have to try this next time.

Very nice tips to help clean the fans. I usually use something that grabs all the dust and doesn’t let any of it escape. Sometimes there are some that get past it and fall on the floor or whatever else is around. I will use your tip from now on. Thanks.

I guess I am a sucker for punishment. I get the ladder and a bottle of all-purpose cleaner and the old burp cloths out (cloth diapers). I completely wipe them down and then vacuum up the pile of dust when done. I get them COMPLETELY clean so I don’t have to do it again for four months. This will be the only chore on a Saturday afternoon. After this I feel the need to take the rest of the day off (Pizza delivery, anyone?)

Luckily the house we are in now only has three fans…..I’ve lived in houses that had as many as seven!!

Another vote for the vacuum with a brush attachment. Finish with a damp cloth and you’re done!

I get my hubby to do it!
He vacuums and uses a rag or paper towels with Mr Clean degreaser claner.

Tink beat me to it! I also use a pillowcase to catch the dust, so it doesn’t fly all over the room.

Also, definitely do all your dusting before you vacuum the floors, so that any dust that does escape can get sucked up by the vacuum cleaner.

Ditto for vacuuming with the upholstery brush.
