Brilio.net - The high intensity of fan use makes this electronic device vulnerable to dirt and dust. Usually dust trapped in the fan blades and mesh can stick to it and make it less efficient at providing fresh air. Apart from that, a dirty fan can also cause health problems such as eye, nose and throat irritation.

It is very important to clean the fan regularly to keep the air in the room clean. Well, some types of fans usually need to be dismantled with special tools when cleaning them. This then makes a number of people lazy and reluctant to clean it because it is considered complicated.

Even though you know, there are actually practical tricks you can do to clean a fan without taking it apart, you know. One way is to spray a special liquid made from a mixture of baking soda and water. After all, baking soda can help dissolve dust and dirt on the fan easily.

However, if the stock of baking soda at home is running out, you can use other ingredients like what a mother named Ayesha did. Through Ayesha Mafaza Azzahra's YouTube account, these mothers admitted that they used other kitchen ingredients that were no less effective at shedding dust and dirt on the fan.

This mother's trick for cleaning a fan makes it shine using 1 kitchen ingredient.

Reported by BriloFood from YouTube Ayesha Mafaza Azzahra on Tuesday (2/4), the kitchen ingredient in question is dishwashing soap. So, apart from dish soap, he also uses other ingredients, such as toothpaste. So these two ingredients will help remove dust and dirt from the fire fan more optimally, you know.

How to use it is quite easy. First, put a little toothpaste in a spray bottle. Then add dishwashing soap and enough water. If so, close the bottle and shake until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Before application, install the base on the bottom of the fan. You can use newspapers or old paper and place it under the fan. This is done so that the remaining dirt that falls from the fan does not directly contaminate the floor.
