A chemist told me about the hairspray when I was complaining about dust in line at Hancock's one day. LOL. I've had them all removed from the house except on the porches. The porch fans are white and this keeps the dust and dirt down so I don't have to clean them much at all.
Thank you!!! You have no idea how much that annoys me in the evening when DH and I sit down to enjoy some TV and I look up at the light at the bottom of the ceiling fan and see thick,thick dust. We live in a very windy area which means dust/dirt is always gettin' in the house. Ugghhh. Tomorrow I'm gettin' some aersol hairspray and spraying those puppies like crazy. Guess I will also spray my table fans. You have made my day!
