I use one of the extension fan blade dusters. It won't reach. unless I stand on a ladder though. My ceilings are very high in the living area. There are no lights attached to the fans so no bulb changing thank goodness. The inset lighting is reachable with a ladder and extension pole, thank goodness for son in law and grandsons for light changing. The bulbs seem to last several years thank goodness. Even the ones the electrician says will last 7 years don't. He had to eat his words on that.
