How to Clean Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans collect dust quickly, especially if they run often. Thankfully, cleaning your ceiling fan doesn't have to mean climbing on chairs or ladders unsafely.

What You'll Need:

• Extendable ceiling fan duster

• Microfiber cloth

• Vacuum or broom

Steps:

1. Use an extendable ceiling fan duster to gently wipe each blade.

2. If accessible, use a step ladder and microfiber cloth to clean any light fixtures on the fan.

3. Vacuum or sweep up any fallen dust from the floor afterward.

How to Clean the Tops of Kitchen Cabinets

Most homeowners rarely notice the tops of kitchen cabinets, but dust and grease can build up over time. Aim to clean them at least twice a year to keep your kitchen fresh.

What You'll Need:

• Microfiber cloths

• A step ladder

Steps:

1. Remove decorative items from the cabinet tops and place them safely on a clean towel.

2. Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away dust from the tops of the cabinets.

3. Clean your decorative items thoroughly before returning them.

4. Wipe down countertops and sweep up any debris that fell during cleaning.

How to Clean Behind the Toilet

Cleaning behind the toilet isn't anyone's favorite job, but it's essential to maintaining a sanitary bathroom.

What You'll Need:

• Handheld broom

• White vinegar (avoid if you have stone floors)

• Microfiber cloths

• Cleaning solution for floors

Steps:

1. Sweep any hair or debris from behind the toilet with a handheld broom.

2. Spray white vinegar onto a microfiber cloth (avoid directly spraying stone floors) and wipe the sides and back of the toilet bowl.

3. Before mopping your bathroom floor, dip a microfiber cloth into your cleaning solution, wring out excess water, and wipe areas around and behind the toilet your mop can't reach.
