Best Way to Clean Ceiling Fans? The Swiffer 360 Duster!

I love a clean home and ever day I am cleaning something inside or outside my home. When it has come to cleaning the 3 ceiling fans in our home...it was always a struggle for me because I am only 5ft. 6" tall. Not only that, I had a total hip replacement back in April so dragging around a step stool or ladder to reach the high places is out of the question.

Recently I received a Swiffer 360 Duster and immediately fell in-love with it! A few days ago I blogged about how it's the best thing for cleaning mini blinds and today...I am going to tell you how I use it to clean my ceiling fans!

The Swiffer 360 Duster has a telescoping handle so I can adjust the length of the handle for whatever cleaning job I am tackling. Next, it has an adjustable angled head so you can adjust the head to whatever angle you need. Third, I love that I can purchase refills for my new Swiffer 360 Duster which saves me money...because I can use that same dusting head for many weeks before I have to change it.

When it came to dusting all of our ceiling fans I was able to telescope the handle out and reach the ceiling fan while standing on the ground...no step stool needed! I adjusted the dusting head at one angle to get above the fan blades and readjusted it the other direction to get underneath. This duster quickly gathered up the dust and cobwebs in quick, rapid fashion!

I loved that I was able to get inside those glass light globes and dust those out too! Each ceiling fan took me about 1 minute to clean and I was done and onto my next cleaning project. Wow, these Swiffer 360 Dusters just make cleaning so easy and they get the job done beautifully!

I have been using my new Swiffer 360 Duster all over my home and now I can't live without! Nope, you are going to find one of these products in my home all of the time! Over the next few weeks I will share with all of you all of the various ways I have been using it to clean my home.

Best Way to Clean Mini Blinds? Use the Swiffer 360 Duster

The Swiffer 360 Duster!
If you talked to anyone who has ever been in my home they would certainly tell you what a clean & neat freak that I am. That's right...I love to clean and I love to show off my home once it has been thoroughly cleaned! While most people are not fond of cleaning, I actually enjoy it!

A few weeks ago my husband finally got around to installing the new mini blinds into our new home. He spent the afternoon installing 8 of them in 3 different rooms. I love the clean & simple look and just purchased new window toppers to hang above them.

The following week I realized I didn't have a good plan in mind on how I was going to clean the mini blinds weekly because I do know that if you don't keep at them, they will collect dust & get ugly in a hurry...especially almond colored ones like the ones we purchased.

Well...I am hear to tell you all that my new favorite cleaning product is the Swiffer 360 Duster! Oh my gosh...I am in-love and can not believe that I didn't own one until now! That duster is the best thing to hit the cleaning world in a very long time!

I love that the handle is adjustable in length and in angle...I can get up really high and get it in-between all of those nasty mini blind slats. Each mini blind takes me less than 1 minute to clean and then I am onto the next one. Once I am done...I just hang it up and it's ready for the next time. When the current cleaning pad gets too dirty, I can dispose of it and attach one from my refill box. 

Over the next few weeks I will share with all of you the different ways I have been using my new Swiffer 360 Duster around my home...this weekend...I will be tackling the cleaning of our ceiling fans with it! Yay!!!
