Over time, dust can collect on the blades of your smaller fans. The quickest way I’ve found to get rid of the dust is by using a can of compressed air, like the kind you can find at office supply stores. Just blow the dust out, then use a regular duster or vacuum to clean it up.

14. Get The Fan Going Before Dusting
The unfortunate thing about dusting is that it often kicks dust up into the air while you’re cleaning. So before you start dusting, turn on your HVAC system’s fan on. Then as you dust, any dust that gets airborne will travel towards the air intake and through your filter, where it will get trapped. So smart!
