cleaning your ceiling fan

caring for finishes

For cleaning, a soft brush or lint-free cloth should be used to pre- vent scratching the finish. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can re- move heavier dust. Surface smudges or an accumulation of dirt and dust can easily be removed by using a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. An artistic agent may be used, but never use abrasive cleaning agents as they will damage the finish.

caring for blades

Wood finish blades should be cleaned with a furniture polishing cloth. Occasionally, a light coat of furniture polish may be applied for added protection and beauty. Painted and high-gloss blades may be cleaned in the same manner as the fan finish.
