I have 11 ceiling fans in my home and I've always hated cleaning them. Other cleaning brushes only pick up dust, sand and dirt around the blade. Most of the residue ends up on your carpets or floors, making cleaning difficult. This year we found this articulated cleaning brush that attaches to a standard vacuum cleaner. Along with a couple of extensions (pipes), I was able to clean the tallest ceiling fan with ease and minimal rainfall on the floor. This brush can be oriented at multiple angles, allowing you to effortlessly clean the edges, top and bottom of fan blades with highly satisfactory results. I'm sure this vacuum brush has many other uses, but for me it was the best fan blade cleaner ever.
