Review on Optimized Ceiling Fan Brush/Duster (23930) by Sarah Blough

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reach new heights - and crash them too!

Not only can you reach new heights, you can overcome them! The Hampton ceiling fan cloth offers exceptional value for money and surprisingly good quality when compared to a low cost. I think ceiling fans are one of those things that, much as we love them, go unnoticed until they get dirty. Cleaning them is a hassle, and for someone like me, stairs and I are a very bad combination - as I stand at the top trying to hold on to the fan blades, the still images of the moon in the breeze are not far from my thoughts! We have seven ceiling fans in total, all white, except for two which are very difficult to grab and keep clean - the fan blades are a virtual dust magnet and this easy to use, excellent product makes them easy to keep clean. We also have the Unger Industrial Fan Cleaner and an 8-foot extension, and while it's better at dealing with horribly dirty fans than the Hampton, it's also four times the price. Twelve dollars for an Unger cleaning head and about thirty dollars for an 8-foot extension with Unger's signature snap-on cleaning pad and rag connection. Again, the Hampton kit does a nearly as good job here. In addition, it is easier to store, lighter and easier to use. The rod is made of lightweight aluminum and is very well made. It comes in four parts and you simply twist each of the four parts together, screw on the dust head and viola! You are ready to say goodbye to dusty, dirty ceiling fan blades. You want to slip the paddle through the center hole and use the back end and power to really catch any bits and "dust cats" that collect from the top and sides of the leaves. A little pressure will help keep the blade in place while cleaning. Additionally, rubbing your hand across the silky mop head creates static electricity and helps reduce falling debris. Spraying on a small amount of product like End Dust also worked well. If you don't need the full length of the pole, simply unscrew a segment or two. If the dust collector is dirty, it can be washed by hand or in a machine in cold water, but under no circumstances should it be put in a dryer and air dried, otherwise the fibers, which are very thin polyester threads, will become dirty damaged. We cleaned ours and it's like new. Hampton is equally effective as a general purpose rag, cobweb terminator and for cleaning hard-to-reach spots, both high and low for cleaning. Considering the fabric of the Hampton ceiling fan is only $12 and the change is an excellent value — Plus Prime members get two days of free shipping. and a care book. Really amazing purchase and a must have if you have ceiling fans. Highly recommended.
