Fans work by using an electric motor to rotate blades or impellers. As the blades spin, they create a pressure difference, causing air to move from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. This movement of air creates a cooling effect by accelerating the evaporation of moisture from your skin. Fans are used for personal cooling, air circulation, and ventilation in various settings.

Unplug: Ensure the fan is unplugged from the power source to prevent any accidents while cleaning.

Remove Dust: Wipe the outer surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Pay attention to the grille or cover and any crevices where dust might accumulate.

Blades: If the blades are removable, carefully take them off. If not, use a brush or a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle attachment to remove dust from the blades. Gently wipe them down with a damp cloth.

Grille or Cover: If the grille or cover is removable, take it off and clean it with a damp cloth. If it's not removable, use a brush or vacuum to clean between the grille slats.

Motor Housing: Use a brush or vacuum to remove dust from the motor housing and any vents.

Cleaning Solution: If there are stubborn stains or sticky residue, dampen a cloth with a mild cleaning solution (water mixed with a small amount of dish soap) and gently wipe down the surfaces. Avoid getting water into the motor or any electrical components.

Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling the fan. You can let them air dry or use a dry cloth to wipe off excess moisture.

- Determine the type (ceiling, table, pedestal, tower, box) based on space and usage.

- Consider room size and airflow coverage.

- Opt for quieter operation if needed.

- Look for energy-efficient options.

- Choose features like oscillation, remote control, and timers.

- Match the fan's aesthetics to the room.

- Set a budget and read reviews.

- Decide on specific needs (cooling, ventilation).

- Check the warranty and brand reputation.

By evaluating these aspects, you can find a fan that aligns with your requirements and preferences.

Fans are simple appliances, there are different things you can try if your fan is not working.

- Clean the motor and blades off any debris and dust it might have collected.

- Check if the fuse is not blown out or damaged. If so replace it with a new one.

Most importantly, DO NOT open the appliance and try reworking the wiring inside. In most cases, you will not be able to fix it if something has gone wrong with the wiring of the appliance.

Cooling: Fans create a breeze that helps your body evaporate sweat, resulting in a cooling effect that makes you feel more comfortable.

Energy-Efficient: Compared to air conditioning, fans use far less energy, which can significantly lower your electricity bills.

Air Circulation: Fans circulate air throughout a room, preventing pockets of stagnant air and improving the overall air quality.

Ventilation: Fans can help with ventilation by exchanging indoor and outdoor air, which is especially useful for removing odors, smoke, and indoor pollutants.

Comfort: Fans provide relief during hot weather by reducing the perceived temperature and helping you stay more comfortable.

Noise Reduction: The gentle hum of a fan can act as white noise, masking background sounds and creating a soothing environment for relaxation and sleep.

Humidity Control: Using a fan can assist in lowering humidity levels, making the air feel less muggy and more pleasant.

Cost-Effective: Fans are a budget-friendly option for staying cool, especially when compared to the higher costs associated with air conditioning.
