How easy is the shade to clean? I'm sure the only option is vacuuming it, but can it be taken down for easier vacuuming? Thank you!

There is only one center cap screw that holds the shade in place so taking it down should be easy for cleaning. Havent had mine long enough to have to clean it yet but I think it should be vacuumed also.

Hello! I had that problem with my old one. I would tie a long piece of cloth to a long piece of string. I would use my vacuum at the other end to pull the end of the string all the way through. Then I would slowly pull the string, and the cloth end would pull through the hose and wipe the dirt and grime away. I also read someone ran hot water through it after each cleaning to rinse out the hose then hang it up high for it drip dry. I hope this helps!

Yes it does very easily. I usually vacuum it once a week and then once a month I take it apart and clean it all. We live in an apartment that it quit old so there is lots of dust and we have a long hair cat and it will build up on the fan. It is very simple to take apart and to put back together.

Yes, it an easily be taken down for cleaning. A metal mounting goes on the wall and you slip the fan on mounting and simply lift upwards to take it off. Hope this helps.

Mine sits on the buffet table but when it is handled and gets a smudge, it wipes off easily with a dry cloth. You don't have to lift it or even get the cloth wet. Just a quick pass with a dry cloth is enough

I have not had to clean it yet, but it looks like I can get to it fairly easy! Been using it for 2 weeks now, works pretty good and is quiet! Hope this helps.

Good question. If the shade gets dirty, the only way to clean/dust it would be a swiffer duster or a feather duster...you would not be able to use wet cloths or sprays on the shade as it is made of paper and would ruin it. The base, on the other hand, would be fine to clean with a wet cloth and/or spray pledge. I have mine for about 6x months now, and I have a lot of dust due to two cats in a tiny apartment, but my shade never appears dirty. It's still as bright white as the day I bought it. Good luck to you!

I just wipe mine down. Occasional I have to break it completely apart and clean the inside/outside of the plastic, but not a big deal. Overall I have been very please with this purchase.

I have the sand color, and I actually find it looks less dirty than my other (black) stroller. It's also pretty easy to clean, I just wipe it with a damp cloth and any dirt wipes right off.

very easy! you just unscrew it and give it a good rinse. you could also soak it if you want. either way, it is super easy to take apart and clean and put back together

Impossible to give a definitive answer. Too many variables. Where do you live? Pets? Do you regularly vacuum? I clean mine once a month - it's easy and quick.

I would say not easy to clean. The roof is almost a dry moss material so it would definitely be hard to clean that area.

I wipe the blades clean with a wet papertowel then leave out to dry for several hours. This only needs done every few weeks. As far as cleaning the exterior of the unit I use my vacuum (the attachment for cleaning furniture, pet beds, etc) or I will wipe it down with a wet papertowel or cloth. This is the 2nd unit I've had that has the blades that can just be wiped clean. No filters to replace and no mess. I love it!! This one doesnt seem to collect as must dust/pollen as well as the last one I owned but this was much less expensive. I would purchase again.

Well in a planted aquarium you really don't vacuum where the plants are at. Only in the open areas, you can vacuum it but I wouldn't recommend it. Just go over the top and pick up any debris that way.

Very easy to clean so far. We have not had to do much more then use a vacuum on it.

Hi Lori, It's very easy to clean as long as you have a hose nearby. Just spray the entire unit the debris container comes out easily as do the filters.

This vacuum is super easy to clean. The dust buster that pops out can be disassembled in two quick steps and emptied out. I have a two bed room condo, about 800 square feet of carpet, a long haired cat and a Shiba that sheds like no ones business. I empty the canister after every use and am baffled at how much hair it picks up. The brush roll self cleaner isn't perfect, but you can unhinge, cut the hair wrapped around it and empty in a few seconds. Could probably clean all of this after every use and reassemble in under five minutes!
