Clean A High Ceiling Fan







Use a ladder to clean high ceiling fans.








Ceiling fans accumulate lots of dust and debris. The dust starts to gather on the top of the ceiling fan blades where it is not noticeable. Unfortunately a dirty ceiling fan rarely becomes noticeable to the naked eye until the grime and dust have spread to the bottom of the ceiling fan blades and across the light fixture. To prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on your ceiling fan and spreading around the room when the fan is turned on, clean the device regularly.


Instructions


1. Place a ladder underneath the ceiling fan in a position that will allow you to reach the ceiling fan blades and motor with your hands.


2. Turn the ceiling fan off using the light switch.


3. Locate a dusting device with an extension pole and a dust removing cleaning spray. Climb the ladder, and place these items on the ladder shelf.


4. Spray a liberal amount of cleaning spray on the top and bottom of the ceiling fan blade closest to you. Swipe the duster across the full length of the top and bottom of the fan blade. Run the duster along each side of the blade. Repeat until no dust or grime remains on the blade.


5. Use your hand to push the clean blade away from you, being careful to use gentle pressure. Grab onto the next blade, and hold it steady until the ceiling fan has stopped moving.


6. Clean the top, bottom and sides of the blade using the duster and cleaning spray. Once the blade is clean, use your hand to move to the next blade. Repeat until every blade is clean.


7. Use the extension pole on the duster to clean the top and sides of the ceiling fan motor. Gently swipe the duster across the motor until it is clean.


8. Use the extension pole to clean the light fixture. Run the duster across each piece of the light fixture assembly until the entire unit is clean
