Maintenance and Care for Hampton Bay Fan Blades
- Regular cleaning of the fan blades to prevent dust build-up:
As mentioned above, the fan’s efficiency broadly depends on its fan blades because the more efficient they are, the more air a fan can circulate. To ensure the proper working of the fan, its blades must be regularly cleaned to prevent dust from accumulating. Use gentle hands when cleaning the blades. You may use a vacuum to remove dust and wipe it off using a damp cloth so it’s fully clean.
- Checking and tightening screws or attachments periodically:
Your fan is making unusual sounds, and you are wondering what might be the reason behind it. The problem may be with the fan blade screws, which might be loose. You must check if the blades of the fans are tightly screwed to the blade holder. If not, use a screwdriver and secure the blades.
A regular maintenance check of the fan blades and regular cleaning, in short, taking good care of the fan blades, may increase their life span.
