Fan Cleaning Trick: As soon as summer arrives, the biggest task seems to be cleaning dirty and sticky feathers. Often, during cleaning, dust spreads all over the house. But this pillow cover hack viral on social media will halve your hard work and double the shine.
As soon as the weather changes, the fans of the house are ready to run at their full speed, but the months-old black, sticky dust accumulated on them not only looks bad but also reduces the speed of the wind. Most of the people use old cloth or broom to clean the fan due to which the dust spreads all over the house and the floor as well as the bed gets dirty.
If you also want to avoid this hassle, then this old pillow cover trick is no less than a boon for you.
- The biggest feature of this method is that the dust comes out of the fan and gets deposited directly inside the pillow cover and does not fly in the air.
- Take an old pillowcase and spray a little water and dish wash liquid on it.
- Now carefully climb up onto a stool or ladder and tuck the cover completely inside one of the fan blades, just like you would a pillowcase.
- Press the cover with your hands from top and bottom and pull it towards you.
- You will see that all the stubborn dust has stuck to the inside of the cover and the blade becomes crystal clear. Similarly, clean the rest of the blades also.
method to remove stickiness
Sticky oil-based dust often accumulates on fans near the kitchen. Cloth alone is not enough to remove it. Make a mixture of white vinegar and baking soda in a spray bottle. Spray it on the blades and leave for 1 minute then use the pillow cover trick. The vinegar will cut through the oil and the soda will bring back the shine.
How to prevent dust from accumulating quickly
After cleaning, apply a little baby oil or car wax on a cotton cloth and wipe the blades. This will make the surface of the blade smoother and in future the dust will slide off instead of sticking to it.
