A dirty dusty ceiling fan can cause allergies and symptoms. Thankfully there are multiple ways to clean a ceiling fan. Others are only good if it’s used with another cleaning solution. Most if not all cleaning solutions can be purchased at a local store or super market.

This will cause for the air to be unhealthy when you cut your fan on.

Even thou it doesn’t kill bacteria that may be living on the fan, it makes a healthier house due to the absence of the dirt and dust. Long-handled feather dusters are very useful for any house cleaner, short, tall, male, and/or female. Its long handle makes it easy for hard to reach places.
Paper Towels
Using paper towels can be useful when you’re running out of other supplies. Paper towels do about the same as feather dusters do. It cleans off the dust and dirt but it doesn’t eliminate harmful bacteria that are living on it. Paper towels with the right liquid cleaner can be extremely effective.
