Canned compressed air and a brush with long bristles will work, like a dustpan brush. They also make a similar model fan where you can remove the housing. I bought this model because it was so cheap.

This model HT-904 CANNOT be cleaned. The grill is not removable, although Amazon's website claims that it is. According to the manufacturers own literature ONLY model HT-804 has a removable grill.

That's a good question since you can't take it apart. One idea is high pressure air? use your garage compressortry household cleaner you could spray it on trying not to hit the electric moter parts than air blast it off using air. Using the conventional towel method will work and take longer. Last option is to blast it off from the front only with a blast from the garden hose. UNPLUG it take it outside. DO NOT PLUG IT BACK IN. blast it with high pressure air and let it dry. Be careful you could ruin it.

On the back side of the fan there are phillip head screws. Undo those and you should be able to get to the blades and motor.

Sorry Nancy. I haven't gotten to the stage where I need to clean it. Let me know if you find a way.

Well my husband took ours apart by gently prying the case apart. It's put together by plastic clips and after he got it apart he cleaned the blades and vacuumed the motor. Then gave it a shot of WD-40 and it snapped back together. Emphasis on "gently". But it did come apart. Hope this helped.

The grill is not removable. It does not pry apart (or if it does, one runs the risk of breaking it while trying, and I gave up on that). Taking the entire fan apart is not the route advertised, which states "easily cleaned" and "detachable grill." No way.

On the back of the circular frame there are screws. Remove them and remove the back. Then it can be cleaned with a cloth and your choice of cleaning solution. The back half of the frame can be washed in soapy water rinsed and dried. Instructions come with the fan.

I just wipe it out with a damp cloth. It seems to come clean pretty easily.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

To clean it you can rub a half of a lemon on it and let it sit a few minutes, then rinse, also you can use baking soda and make a paste with water and rub on it let it sit a few minutes and then rinse...

It's rubberized so I use warm water (add soap if needed) and paper towels or a rag. It's very simple to clean. You could even mop it I suppose but I have not tried that.

I clean it with mild dish soap and water. Polish using Bar magic soft scrub polish. Once every few weeks. Mine is in excellent condition.

I cleaned the preowned one I bought with soft scrub with bleach. Rinse well. I cleaned and sanitized all at one time.

I don't know how to clean it. I think we need to order new filters. I love mine too and will have to go to the web site to see about ordering new filters.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

I am not sure there is any way to really clean it. I think you may need to but replacement filters. I don't think that they were meant to be washed.

Just wipe it off with a moist cloth and its clean. Mine is always in a case so i don't have much issues keeping it clean

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.
