        I used to try to use it to dust ceiling fan blades, I’ve tried the pillow case thing, but I find that to be more work than needed. Those bendable dust sticky brissle things seem to work best with the vaccum. Needless to say I have succumb to just leaving the fans on so I don’t see the dust and then try to make sure I do them once a season.

        Edit: this thing would probably work great… Maybe next year.

          I started just taking the individual blades off the fan. Three screws apiece, in and out, and I can really clean them up. I do like your stick thingy though, maybe I should explore other options.

            I like your method but I always worry it will increase the odds of them getting the wobble faster. Fans seem like they shouldn’t wobble nearly as easy as they do. I should find rubber pieces to put on the end of the screws that clamp the lamps into place. I always want to screw them tighter but I am afraid to crack them.

              Yeah, so I unscrew the arms from the fans, versus the blades from the arms, and because I don’t wanna mess with the rubber gromets or whatever those pieces are called. They seem to be slightly dessicated where they’re exposed, and I feel like if I were to remove the screws from there it’d be all over. The arm to fan body is just metal screw into a machined hole, and who knows, maybe I’m tightening up a joint that loosened since I last cleaned the blades (which is definitely not a short amount of time, I don’t exactly do it a lot).

    Seems like a joke but this was a popular haircut in the late 90s. We used to call it “the ashtray”. Kinda ironic that kids nowadays may not even know what an ashtray is. Man the 90s had some nice stuff but they also stank of cigarettes

      I grew up in the 90s and I have no memory of this haircut. Most people in the late 90s had bleached, spiked hair. If this haircut was a thing where you lived it was probably localized to your town.
