Q: When I clean my ceiling fan dust flies everywhere. How can I avoid this?

A: Yes, cleaning ceiling fan blades can cause a big mess. This is especially annoying if you notice those gross fan blades after you’ve already thoroughly scrubbed everything down and the house is sparkling.

We love this idea: Spray the inside of an old pillowcase with some Formula 409 or Clorox Clean-up. Slip the pillowcase around the blades and put some elbow work into cleaning the blades. The gunk falls into the case, which you can throw into the wash. See, we’ve got you covered.
