Default Need someone to clean ceiling fans

I have been told by my doc no more ladders!
Which is not a very big impediment for me except for cleaning the ceiling fans.
Most "house" cleaning services want to do the whole thing......I just want the ceiling fans (9) cleaned a couple times a year.
I am looking for recommendations

Will this work for you? We have a home with 7 fans and have used this in lieu of climbing the step ladder.

It is cheap, quick, and easy. Does a good job...

Buy one of those ceiling fan cleaning brushes that you can use with a long stick. They hug the blades and clean off the dust and hair. Lots of different types to choose from.

He has one of those high powered fans, like a wind tunnel, it blows things everywhere.

I don't have hair or dust on my ceiling fans. But, I did have a short-haired dog once. Should I have called it a short-furred dog?

Try using a Swiffer. They make a version with an extendable handle.

You can buy extend arm on a duster for fans. That would help just someone once year get up clean with wet solution.

Get yourself a fan cleaner like the one from Amazon. Actually, Home Depot or Lowes has them. You can do a fan in about 30 seconds. It's easy to do and no climbing involved.
