Black Dust On Fan Blades

You don t want to lather it on but make sure it reaches every part of every blade.

Black dust on fan blades.

The black dust may be due to deteriorating duct liner materials in your heater or air conditioner and in some cases your cold air returns. This same thing happens to the leading edges of your ceiling fan blades. Additionally fan blades move rapidly through the air rubbing and brushing against air molecules and pushing them out of the way. I suggest you use each paper towel until it gets dark and starts smearing dust or until you move on to the next fan blade whichever comes first.

It may alternatively be due to soot produced from candles. The air always has a great deal of dust in it larger particles that you can see and also microscopic ones. But they must understand that there is a lot of dust in the circulating air. Over time a large volume of the circulating air hits and collects on the blades of the fan.

If the register is closed the air is forced along the ceiling and the next thing you know you ll start to see black buildup across your ceiling. Why do some fans have this buildup and other s don t. Stand on a step stool or ladder to reach the fan blades. Once they re all dry apply your paste car wax.

People often ask why spider webs and dust can be seen on the fans. Next you re going to make sure that each blade is dry.
