I used to try to use it to dust ceiling fan blades, I’ve tried the pillow case thing, but I find that to be more work than needed. Those bendable dust sticky brissle things seem to work best with the vaccum. Needless to say I have succumb to just leaving the fans on so I don’t see the dust and then try to make sure I do them once a season.
Edit: this thing would probably work great… Maybe next year.
I started just taking the individual blades off the fan. Three screws apiece, in and out, and I can really clean them up. I do like your stick thingy though, maybe I should explore other options.
I like your method but I always worry it will increase the odds of them getting the wobble faster. Fans seem like they shouldn’t wobble nearly as easy as they do. I should find rubber pieces to put on the end of the screws that clamp the lamps into place. I always want to screw them tighter but I am afraid to crack them.
Yeah, so I unscrew the arms from the fans, versus the blades from the arms, and because I don’t wanna mess with the rubber gromets or whatever those pieces are called. They seem to be slightly dessicated where they’re exposed, and I feel like if I were to remove the screws from there it’d be all over. The arm to fan body is just metal screw into a machined hole, and who knows, maybe I’m tightening up a joint that loosened since I last cleaned the blades (which is definitely not a short amount of time, I don’t exactly do it a lot).
It’s for dusting. Actually super useful once you figure it out.

If you can’t see the dust, it’s not there. *Flips fan back on
