Clear the Air

When ceiling fans collect dust, they can scatter it around the room. You'll need a stepladder to wipe them down, unless you can reach the fixtures easily. Use a damp paper towel first to carefully and slowly wipe off that heavy layer of dust and grime.

Then clean or continue to wipe off the blades as necessary. If there are pull chains, wipe with a dry cloth and then use a microfiber cloth or feather duster to dust the housing and other parts.
