To clean your dusty fan, you will need 3 common ingredients: coconut detergent, white alcohol vinegar and toothpaste. These 3 ingredients will help you ensure deep cleaning, as if your fan had just left the store.
As toothpaste is abrasive, it helps remove stubborn dirt and grease. Vinegar is also a powerful degreaser and, finally, detergent is highly cleaning.

Step by step to carry out a good cleaning
Combine all the products mentioned above in a spray bottle and shake well to mix! After that, spray little by little, being careful with all the electrical parts of your fan.
After applying the liquid, place a bag covering the fan blades and run it to spread the product and dry the appliance.
It is recommended that the focus be exclusively on plastic parts. After that, use a cleaning brush to scrub the parts that are dirtiest or have the most dust.
When finished, use a damp cloth and, if necessary, even a toothpick, to remove any excess product (or dirt) that may have remained in the gaps of your fan.
Finish cleaning with a dry cloth and your fan will be ready to be used to alleviate this “heat”!
