Ceiling Fan Cleaning Tips


Keeping your ceiling fans clean is not just a matter of keeping your home looking good. It's also a matter of health and of protecting your fans from damage. One of the reasons why domestic cleaning agencies make sure that ceiling fans are cleaned is because they know this. Since fans are rarely used, many people reduce expenses by keeping their cleaning out of the purview of the domestic cleaning agencies. This makes sense, but even if rarely used they need to be cleaned once in a while.


Having sustainable and green products in the home continues to be a big trend for consumer purchases. With lighting accounting for 15% of the energy bill, according to the Dept. of Energy, many consumers are looking to make wise choices in lighting selection -- looking for both design and sustainability in products. The Ambiance LED task lighting offers the latest in LED technology, delivering a long life of up to 40,000 hours. It also delivers maximum brightness using up to 85% less energy (4x more efficient than halogen light sources). The light source is dimmable and its miniature profile fits seamlessly anywhere -- under shelves, overhead cabinets and retail displays. The unit also contains no harmful mercury, making it easy and safe to use. The LED task lighting is designed to provide task lighting in residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality applications.Sea Gull Lighting's LED task light is available in white, plated bronze or tinted aluminum.

In addition, the lighting source has a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 85 -- providing a high spectrum of color to complement any room.To do a weekly house cleaning, all you need to do is first of all make sure the fan is off. Using a ceiling cleaning brush / duster with a long handle, clean all the blades thoroughly. Place a plastic sheet below the fan to keep falling dust and grime from falling on the carpet. Carefully gather up the sheet so that no dust falls out and your weekly cleaning is done.About Sea Gull Lighting Headquartered in Riverside, New Jersey, Sea Gull Lighting Products, LLC, a Generation Brands company, ( www.seagulllighting.com ) is a leading manufacturer and marketer of decorative and functional lighting for residential, commercial and architectural applications.

Waxing the blades with car wax will prevent dust from sticking to the fan blades and make future cleaning easier.
