I tried this and cleaned 5 fans in about 20 minutes! Take an old pillowcase, enclose each blade up to where it attaches, then pull the pillowcase toward you using a rubbing motion with both hands. The dust stays in the pillowcase rather than making a mess. When you are done, just take it outside, turn it inside out, shake the dust off, and throw it in the washer. I used an old flannel pillowcase and followed up with a slightly damp rag. I have always dreaded cleaning the fans, but this makes it a breeze (pun intended) lol! Think I may have seen this tip on the Today Show.
