Safety First – Turn Off Your Ceiling Fan

Before you begin the cleaning process, ensure the ceiling fan is turned off. This is a crucial safety step to prevent any accidents.

Protect Your Furniture with a Drop Sheet

Dust and debris can easily spread during cleaning. To protect your furniture from dust or residue, place a drop sheet or old towels over the furniture pieces directly under the ceiling fan.

Gentle Cleaning with the Right Tools

Using a sturdy ladder, position yourself so that you're comfortably able to reach the fan blades. Employ a dry microfiber or cotton cloth, gently wiping each blade to remove dust. It's vital to apply gentle pressure to avoid bending the blades, which could lead to imbalance issues. Don’t forget to also clean the top of the motor housing.

Coastal Homes – Use Mr. Min for Rust Protection

For those living near the sea, the salty air can expedite the rusting process. After dusting, lightly apply a protective coating like Mr. Min to your cloth (not directly onto the fan) and carefully wipe the blades and motor. This step adds a protective layer to combat rust.

Avoid Water and Harsh Chemicals

Water or aggressive cleaning agents (such as Handy Andy) can harm your ceiling fan by causing corrosion, swelling of the blades, or stripping finishes. Stick to dry or slightly damp cloths for cleaning
