The air of the ceiling fan suddenly decreases? Not electrical noise, the cause could be a dust coating on the fan blades. Ceiling fan is one of the essential items in the house but it is often neglected when it comes to cleaning. Day after day, dust, smoke, grime and oil build up on the blade. Especially near kitchen or dining room fans, this dirt accumulates more quickly, turning the blades yellow and dirty. Blade speed also decreases.

However, fan cleaning does not always require expensive cleaning products. Dirty Ceiling Fan can be easily cleaned with simple materials at home.

• Things to do before cleaning—

The most important thing in this case is safety. Be sure to turn off the fan switch and wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before starting work. If necessary, turn off the power supply completely. The blades of the fan are extremely sharp, so fatal damage can be done.

Then wipe loose dust from the blade with a dry cloth or old pillowcase. First of all, it is better not to use wet cloth. It can mix dry dust with water and become mud.

• Make simple household cleaners

This activity will require a little baking soda, mild liquid soap, warm water, soft microfiber cloth, soft brush and a dry towel. Make a mixture to clean the fan's accumulated oil and grime. Mix some baking soda and mild liquid soap with warm water in a bowl.

Soak the cloth in the mixture and wring it well. Gently wipe each blade, draining excess water. Just cleaning the blade isn't the end of the job. Dust also accumulates around blade joints, screws and motor covers. A soft brush can be used for these parts. Clean very carefully and do not pour water or cleaning solution directly on the motor or any other electrical parts.

Once all the dirt is clean, wipe the blades thoroughly with a dry towel. It will not stain water and will also reduce the chance of the blade re-sticking quickly when wet.

It is better to clean the fan regularly rather than waiting for it to become completely covered in dirt. Regular maintenance will keep the fan in good condition for a long time.
