You can clean this in minutes without any hassle using Gharista's Universal Cleaner. No mixing solutions, no multiple products — just spray and wipe. Plant-based, safe for your family, and works on almost every surface.

If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean fan effectively at home.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Turn Off and Unplug

For safety, turn off and unplug the fan. Wait for blades to stop completely.

2

Remove Guards if Possible

For box/pedestal fans, remove front grill for easier access to blades.

3

Vacuum Loose Dust

Use brush attachment to vacuum dust from blades and motor housing.

4

Wipe Blades

Use damp cloth with all-purpose cleaner to wipe each blade on both sides.

5

Clean Guards

Wash removable guards with soapy water. Use brush for grill openings.

6

Ceiling Fan Pillowcase Trick

Slide pillowcase over ceiling fan blade and pull off - traps dust inside.

7

Reassemble

Ensure everything is completely dry before reassembling and using.

Pro Tips

  • Clean fans monthly during heavy use seasons
  • Dusty fans spread dust around the room
  • Balance blades if fan wobbles after cleaning
