Brilio.net - A number of people prefer to use fans rather than AC. The reason is, fans have lower electrical power, so their operational costs are cheap. Not only that, fans are also more environmentally friendly and easy to maintain.
One fan maintenance that can be done is to clean it regularly. Because if you rarely clean it, the fan will be filled with piles of dust. Apart from looking dirty, a buildup of dust also risks damaging the fan, you know.
A number of people immediately dismantled the fan to clean it. Even though it's clean, disassembling all the fan parts takes a long time. Not to mention if there are screws or parts that are scattered, the fan cannot be installed completely again.
Instead of dismantling it, it turns out there is a practical method that can be practiced when you want to clean fan dust . A TikTok user @naura.shada once shared the method in one of his video uploads.
"A practical way to clean a fan without dismantling the fan," he wrote in the video caption.
How to clean fan dust without disassembling it.
In this way, the fan will be clean and shiny again in just 15 minutes. To clean the fan, this netizen also only relies on two kitchen ingredients.
Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @naura.shada on Tuesday (26/3), the two kitchen ingredients used were dish soap and baking soda. Just mix these two kitchen ingredients and put them in a spray bottle.
After that, just spray the cleaning solution all over the fan. Make sure all the inside fan blades are also exposed.

If so, attach the plastic to the fan from top to bottom. Don't forget to tie it tightly so it doesn't come loose later.

Then turn on the fan as usual at high speed. Turn on the fan for 15-20 minutes. This process causes the pile of dust to fall by itself and be collected in the plastic bag.
After turning it on for 15 minutes, slowly remove the plastic bag. It appears that the fan's appearance is clean and shiny again. To dry it completely, wipe a dry cloth over all parts of the fan.

How to use a fan to make it cooler.
Here are some tips for maximizing cooling using a fan.
1. Position correctly.
Place fans in strategic places, such as in front of windows to circulate fresh air into the room or in areas that feel hot. Make sure the fan is not blocked by other objects.
2. Use with the window open.
Open a window next to the fan to allow fresh air to flow into the room. This helps create better air circulation.
3. Use of ice.
Place a bowl filled with ice in front of a fan. The wind that the ice passes through will feel colder when it reaches you.
4. Use at night.
At night the air is usually cooler, so using a fan can help circulate cool air into the room.
5. Pay attention to the wind direction.
When using a table fan or sitting fan, make sure the wind is directed directly at your body to optimize the cooling effect.
By applying the tips above, you can maximize fan efficiency to create a cooler and more comfortable environment.
