If you have already turned on your fans and think the worst is over then you’re wrong. While the dust that has accumulated may have been spread, other allergens can still be spread. The rotation of the blades can suck up dust, dirt, pollen and other small particles. Furthermore, if your fan is located close to your kitchen, it may accumulate grease and oil that emanates when cooking food. This makes it the perfect environment to harbinger allergens.

Still not convinced? Interestingly, dust is the main culprit when it comes to a wobbly and slow fan! With the accumulation of dust, it is possible that the dust could affect the fan motor's ability to function and put it under undue strain. 

In a situation where you are dealing with a high up appliance, a helping hand is always good to ensure your safety when cleaning.  A step ladder will also be imperative to this task, do not be tempted to climb your furniture in an attempt to clean it. While not always necessitated, a spare sheet to collect dust on the floor will add an extra layer of protection. With some of the dust being likely to be swept off the fan in the process of cleaning, the dust will spread across the floor and furniture under the fan. Also, whilst not our focus, glass cleaner is good to have in handy to clean the glass light globes.

There are multiple ways to clean your ceiling fan but the one major overarching instruction is to do it in a way where you will not spread dust. If this step is not followed then you will not feel the benefits of your clean fan, as it will just disperse the allergens to the floor and will accelerate the process of the fan getting dirty again. Another vital thing is that you turn off the ceiling fan while you are cleaning. Not only will this reduce the spread of dust but it will also make it safer for you. 

This one is probably the most effective if done regularly. If you have a vacuum with an extendable arm, cordless vacuums preferably, with a dust attachment you can vacuum the dust from the sides of the blades. A sheet can be added to the floor for this method or you can use another vacuum attachment to clean the fallen dust. However, despite this method’s convenience, this is the least effective method if this is the fan’s first clean in a while. also, even if this is done regularly, you may still get a build-up of dust in hard to reach places. Furthermore, if you have not cleaned your fan over a long period of time, your vacuum may not be able to provide adequate suction to draw all the dust off the blades
