1. Cleaning an Electric Fan Without Removing the Frame
Cleaning Materials for Electric Fan:
- 1 small bowl
- 1 water spray bottle
- Dishwashing liquid
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Water
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
First, add 2 teaspoons of baking soda to a bowl with 250 ml white vinegar. Then, add about 2 – 3 drops of dishwashing liquid and stir the mixture until it foams. Finally, mix thoroughly to ensure the baking soda completely dissolves. Pour the solution into the prepared spray bottle.
How to Clean the Fan Blades
- Ensure safety by unplugging the fan before cleaning to prevent electrical hazards.
- After spraying, leave it for 10 minutes to let the cleaning agents work. The combination of vinegar and dishwashing liquid will help remove stubborn dirt and stains on the fan blades. Additionally, baking soda acts as a brightening agent, leaving the fan looking clean and shiny.
- Next, plug in and turn on the fan; the spinning blades will create airflow to blow away the dirty water droplets along with dust. Place the fan in a well-ventilated area or on a dry surface to prevent dirty water from splattering indoors.
- If the fan is still dirty after turning it off, repeat the steps. Once completely clean, use a dry cloth to wipe the outer frame.

3. Some considerations when cleaning an electric fan
- Ensure the fan is disconnected from power before cleaning
- Maintain the cleanliness of your fan by gently wiping it dry, avoiding any immersion in water. Allow it to thoroughly dry before reassembly and plugging it in to use. This prevents potential electric shocks or malfunctions.
