How to Clean Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans

Light fixtures and ceiling fans collect dust that dims your lighting and circulates allergens. Here's how to clean them safely.

Ceiling fans

Use a pillowcase slipped over each blade to trap dust as you pull it off — no shower of debris. Wipe blades with a damp cloth to finish.

Light fixtures

  1. Turn off the power and let bulbs cool
  2. Remove glass shades and wash them
  3. Dust the fixture and bulbs gently
  4. Dry and reassemble

The result

Clean fixtures brighten a room instantly and keep dust from spreading — one of the details our deep cleans never skip.
