Can I clean ceiling fans myself during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heat wave, I’ve noticed a layer of dust collecting on the ceiling fans in our balcony area. It’s been about two weeks since we returned from visiting family, so I’m wondering if this is something I can tackle myself or if I should consider hiring someone to help clean it up during Ramadan. Can anyone share their experience with cleaning large areas like this?

Absolutely! Cleaning ceiling fans during Ramadan can be quite a task but it's something you can tackle yourself if you have the right tools and safety measures in place. In Dubai/UAE, there are no specific regulations that prohibit or require professional cleaning for residential areas like yours. However, safety is key when handling electrical appliances.
First off, ensure your safety by unplugging the fans before commencing any cleaning activities. Use a clean cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris from the blades. A long-handled duster can be really helpful here as it allows you to reach those hard-to-get areas without climbing on a chair or ladder. For the ceiling fan itself, carefully wipe down with a damp cloth ensuring no water touches the motor or electrical components. Drying thoroughly is crucial before plugging it back in to avoid any short circuits. If you notice any signs of damage such as frayed wires, loose screws, or unusual noises, it might be worth considering professional inspection. Some companies offer services that combine cleaning and safety checks which could save you time and ensure your fan operates efficiently for the rest of Ramadan. Cleaning large areas like this can sometimes be overwhelming especially during a busy month like Ramadan where preparations are already on high alert. If you find yourself in need of additional help, don’t hesitate to reach out to local service providers such as Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com. Remember, keeping your home’s indoor environment clean and dust-free is not only about aesthetics but also important for maintaining good air quality. A fresh breeze from a well-cleaned ceiling fan can make all the difference during these hot summer months in Dubai. Hope this helps! Happy cleaning and Ramadan Mubarak! |
