Brilio.net - Compared to ACs, fans have lower electrical power, so their operational costs are cheaper. Not only that, fans are also more environmentally friendly and can be maintained easily. It's not wrong that many people choose fans as a means of air conditioning.
So, the fan maintenance process certainly includes cleaning it too. Because it often becomes a nest for dust, fans must be cleaned regularly. This is done to reduce the risk of infection from diseases transmitted through the air.
Usually fans are cleaned by disassembling all the components, but there are also several types of fans that can be easily removed and installed. However, some others actually have to be dismantled using tools, such as a screwdriver. Problems like this usually get worse if the fan has to be mounted on a wall.
Of course you have to take it down first and then dismantle it and clean it. In fact, instead of dismantling it, there is a practical method that you can practice when you want to clean the dust of a wall fan , you know. A YouTube user CREATIVE IDEAS once shared how to clean wall fan dust more practically and quickly.
In this way, the fan can be clean and dust-free again in just 10 minutes. Instead of using chemical liquids, the way to clean fan dust shown by the owner of the video actually uses kitchen ingredients .
Reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (21/3), the kitchen ingredient in question is dishwashing soap. Apart from that, he also prepared other tools in the form of brushes, large plastic bags, glasses and spray bottles. To clean it, the first thing you have to do is first remove the fan from the wall.

After that, clean the outside with a brush. Just rub it for a while until the dust from the outside of the fan falls off. If so, prepare a glass and fill it with enough water. After that, pour in 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. Then stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and foamy.

Next, transfer this soapy water into a spray bottle. Then spray it all over the dusty parts of the fan, especially the net and blades. Spray from the front and back of the fan, OK?
After that, prepare two pieces of plastic. Then wrap the fan net from the bottom first. Don't forget to tie it tightly. If so, use another piece of plastic to wrap the fan from the top, then tie it tightly.

Tips for safely using a fan while sleeping.

1. Keep your distance.
Place the fan in a safe place and keep it away from flammable objects such as cloth or tissue.
2. Set the position.
Make sure the fan does not point directly at your body, especially the face or head area, to avoid cold or other health problems.

Use a fan speed that is comfortable for you. Too tight can make you cold and uncomfortable.
4. Pay attention to cable safety.
Make sure the fan cable is not caught or hooked on the bed or other objects that could damage it.

If you wake up in the middle of the night and feel cold, turn off the fan for a while or adjust its position so that it is not pointing directly at your body.
6. Check the condition of the fan regularly.
Make sure the fan is in good condition and that there are no damaged or loose parts that could be a hazard.
7. Avoid fans without wire protection.

Don't rely too much on fans to reduce the temperature of a room that is too hot, make sure the room has good ventilation.
