Soapy water can be used to clean fan blades
- Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws on the sides of your Patton fan that hold the fan grille in place.
- Lift out the fan blades.
- Fill your sink or tub, depending on the size of the blades, with warm water.
- Add several tablespoons of mild soap to the water. Mix it around until you get soap suds.
- Submerge the Patton fan blades in the water.
- Use a non-abrasive scrubber to clean away any built up dust or residue from the fan blades. This step is necessary if the fan has been in storage.
- Wipe down the entire surface of the Patton fan blades with a soft cloth.
- Rinse with warm water. Allow the Patton fan blades to dry completely.
- Reinsert the blades into your Patton fan. Screw the grille back in place.
