Looking for a ceiling fan that is easy to maintain dust-free? Many Hunter ceiling fans include Dust Armor, a coating that repels dust from building up on the fan blades, ensuring a clean fan and home.
Hi, I'm Colby with Del Mar Fans & Lighting. Today we're going to show you how to clean a dirty fan on a high ceiling. We're also going to show you how to clean a dirty fan on a low or regular height ceiling.
For high ceilings, we use the long arm duster and we also use a bandana to cover our mouth and nose to avoid breathing in the dust.
For regular height ceilings, we use this pillow case, step-ladder, and this bandana to clean your dirty ceiling fan. Using the pillow case, just slide it over the top of the fan blade, apply some pressure and pull back. This catches all the dirt and dust inside the pillow case and now you have a clean fan. Be sure take that pillow case and shake it out before you through it in the wash.
