This afternoon my two daughters were here and we were all sitting in the living room when talk turned to the filthy ceiling fan. #2 daughter jumped up, climbed up on a stool, and took the blades off! She took them in the kitchen and cleaned them up till they shine, and then she put them back. While she was at it she took the light diffuser off and washed it, too! Good deal for me, huh?Marytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234537905380897920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117990236743441616.post-44251744067319987132008-10-29T20:45:00.000-05:002008-10-29T20:45:00.000-05:00"I can't believe how dirty they are!

I am in COMPLETE agreement with you!! Ours get very dirty around here, so I clean them often. No fun, but necessary. How embarrassing it would be for a hunk of lint to fly off into a guests lap!

Yesterday dd was sitting on the couch looking up and commented on how dirty the fan was! Dh said, "No wonder mom keeps them running all the time." ;-)<BR/>P.S. terri, it is never a good thing not to have ceiling fans! They are worth whatever it takes to clean them. Especially here in Texas!Marytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234537905380897920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117990236743441616.post-22949579290449100492008-10-25T06:33:00.000-05:002008-10-25T06:33:00.000-05:00That seems to be one of those chores that doesn't ...That seems to be one of those chores that doesn't happen very often.

Haven't even bothered to see if they need a good cleaning or not. Guess I just don't take notice of those things.

But onward I climb to get rid of the dirt and grime! I feel so much better once they are clean and shiny.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind cleaning the bedroom fans at all I can reach them by standing on the bed- very brave of me I know lol.Angelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002727192262980990noreply@blogger.com
