“Cooling Down with Clean Fans: Summer Maintenance”

---

Ceiling fans accumulate dust over time, especially during the summer when they’re in constant use. To keep them clean and efficient, follow these steps:

• Materials Needed:
  • An old pillowcase
  • All-purpose cleaner (or a mixture of water and mild dish soap)

1. Turn Off the Fan: Before cleaning, turn off the fan to avoid any accidents.
2. Spray the Pillowcase: Lightly spray the inside of an old pillowcase with all-purpose cleaner.
3. Wrap the Blade: Slide the pillowcase over one fan blade at a time. The dust will stick to the fabric.
4. Wipe the Blade: As you pull the pillowcase back, wipe the blade to remove dust and grime.
5. Repeat for All Blades: Repeat the process for each blade.
6. Reverse the Blade Direction: In summer, set the fan to rotate counterclockwise (when looking up at it). This pushes air downward, creating a cooling breeze.

• Cooling Effect: Counterclockwise rotation creates a breeze that makes you feel cooler without lowering the room temperature.
• Energy Efficiency: By reversing the blade direction, you can reduce your reliance on air conditioning, saving energy and money.
• Winter Use: In winter, switch the fan to clockwise rotation to gently circulate warm air from the ceiling down into the room.

Remember to clean your ceiling fans regularly to maintain their efficiency and prolong their lifespan. Happy summer cleaning! 🌞🌀
