Summer is just around the corner, and before the temperatures start to rise even more it's time to get ready and do some maintenance on the fan. Before putting it into operation, it is good to clean it to prevent it from spreading dust





From pedestal and ceiling fans to small tabletop devices, all should be thoroughly cleaned before use. We probably already did this when we stored them last summer, but it is still recommended to double check that they are clean.

Here's everything you need to know about cleaning your fan properly.

What is needed

A slightly damp cloth
A little soap (dish soap is fine too)
A screwdriver

How to clean the fan

First of all, all these operations must be carried out while the device is disconnected from the electricity supply. Then, if possible, unscrew the screws that secure the front and rear of the fan, which is usually metal. At this point you can clean this sort of cage using a damp cloth. Before reassembling it, you can also clean the blades, always using a damp cloth and if they are too dirty you can use a pinch of soap. Before reassembling it, we need to make sure it is completely dry. 

The cleaning of the ceiling fans is slightly different. In this case, the advice is to turn off the power and then clean the blades or using a damp cloth or a simple duster if it is only surface dust and dirt.

This simple method shouldn't take more than a few minutes and ensures that the fresh air is also clean.
