Slip the pillowcase completely over one ceiling fan blade. With your hands on the outside of the pillowcase, gently wipe the top and bottom of the blade as you pull the pillowcase back toward you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inside of the pillowcase wipes the blade clean while catching most of the loose dust inside instead of letting it fall onto your furniture, bed, or floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat with each blade, then take the pillowcase outside, turn it inside out and shake the dust out before washing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carol\u2019s Tip:<\/strong> Use an old cotton pillowcase that you don\u2019t mind getting dirty. It makes cleaning those dusty ceiling fan blades a lot less messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
