Will dust fly all over the room if I use this to clean the ceiling fan? My bed is right under it. Thanks

I could not live without my Swiffer Duster. I am retired. I clean 3 houses a week for wealthy people. I use the short handle for furniture and the long handle for ceiling fans and light fixtures. The dust does not fly all over the room. The dust sticks to the swiffer refill pad.

I would use an old pillow case... You just turn it inside out to start and then go one blade at a time, sliding the dust off, into the pillow case. You can shake it out and launder it after. Hope this helps! Smile.

The Swiffer is capable of holding a LOT of dust, But if your ceiling fan is anything like my ceiling fan, it doesn't get dusted very often. When I haven't been using the fan and haven't dusted it in a while, the Swiffer pad can get overloaded and just push the dust it cant grasp off onto whatever is below. But I take responsibility for that, for not remembering to dust it often enough.

My experience to date is that the Swifter does a great job with ceiling fans (I use the long handled, extendable one). My recommendation is to dust frequently so that dust doesn't build up for more than a week.

Yes, because there is always a lot of dust on our fans. I suggest just laying a sheet down over your bed to catch the free-fall.

Yes! Even though I dust once a week! Dust both sticks to Swiffer and flies throughout room. If dusting over a bed maybe put down something - like cut open one of those jumbo trash bags or lay down a drop cloth.

I am not sure. Usually the dust clings to the duster, but my ceiling fan has so much dust I think dust might fall on whatever is underneath.

The fan is actually pretty noisy. It looks cool, but for all the noise it makes, it just doesn't move the air enough. As for cleaning, the. Fan is in the base of the unit. I haven't tried to clean it yet. Don't want to disassemble it for fear of breaking it. Get a Lasko high power tower fan. It moves a big amount of air and is less then 1/2 the price.

We do not have carpet were the fan is being used but there is some dust on the ceiling fan that we need to clean off now and then. Not sure if it's extra dust kicked up from the tower fan or not. We did buy an electric air purifier that we turn on once in a while. I guess it could be the reason for the dust but the fan isn't causing alarming amounts of it. Not sure if this really answers your question. Sorry.

I do not notice any additional dust in the room where the fan is located. It is a great fan!

I did not do specific testing but in use I found the air clean & the dust down. I cannot leave it on when I sleep as it stimulates me too much so with all of this I believe it works well in the 25'0"* 40'0" room we use it in!

I think it would hold dust. I like the results better when I have swept or vacuumed the floor first. It doesn't have any suction, it just uses a fitted cloth that steam goes through to the floor to mop. I have laminate flooring and I do like the clean feel of the floor after steam mopping.

I haven't had a need to clean this fan, as I use it only for power outages --- which is rare. Were I to have need to clean, I would use compressed air from spray can that I use to clean my computer (desktop) fans.

easy enough to clean filter, however if you forget it could mess up the unit..it is really not meant for a dusty area...I used it while I was finishing the apartment I was building and the dust build up was considerable..i did clean it every day ...took out filter and vaccumed it..

Yep, I've used this duster to clean the entire inside of my computer. Just make sure you hold the can straight up, don't tilt the can.

Yes. We have 10 foot ceilings and my husband uses this once a month to dust the fan blades. He does use a step stool so he doesn't have to reach as far.

It helps some, but this size is meant for a bedroom or other small rooms not a living room.I have mine in my bedroom on my side table (not on the floor) and have noticed some difference in the dust on the furniture.

I have it working in a 475 Sq. Ft. room, and it removes all of the dust in the air. It also reduces the dust on surface areas, but I don't think any purifier will keep surface areas completely free of dust.

It depends on which setting you are using and how the room is configured. If you're just getting the air moving (hence using the lowest setting) then I don't think it would blow papers. The fan is also very targeted in how much area it directly blows so even if you had it on high and pointed it in the right way, I don't think it would be a problem either.

Not sure - my bed doesn't smoke. Joking aside, i found this to be the most over priced useless air cleaner. I knew it really didn't do as claimed when i watched dust moving in the air in the sunlight - it would waft gently near the purifyer and hover by it without being sucked in when it was running full force. Them the dust would move I, never entering the machine. It's a great table.

Yes, you can clean ceiling fans with this. It locks in different positions. Pad also comes off for easy cleaning.

No it do not help clean the dust out the air. It just clean the air of smells pet dander and such.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.
