Once you realize how quickly you can clean your ceiling fan with this thing, you'll be smiling, too. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Doesn't it seem a little counterproductive to clean up after you've, well, cleaned? Case in point: wiping down your ceiling fan, only for the dust to go flying everywhere. Now you've got to wash your bedding, clean your furniture and vacuum the floors ... not fun. That's why we just about lost our minds when we realized a product exists to relieve our plight: the Fanbladecleaner Ceiling Fan Duster. Resembling a long sock, this unassuming cleaner collects all of that gunk in one place to keep the mess from getting all over. Plus, it's on sale at Amazon.

It might resemble an electric toothbrush, but you'll want to use this little gizmo for busting away messes in the tiny corners and crevices of your home. We're taking bathroom tile grout, fridge gaskets, around faucets — anything you don't feel like cleaning by hand, since it scrubs a whopping 60 times per second! We don't often see it on sale for less than it is now, but we have seen it priced at over $20. And given how much time and energy it'll save you, $17 is a real bargain!
"The Rubbermaid Power Scrubber is amazing!" exclaimed an impressed user. "Not only does it get the water stains out of the tile grout, but it’s small enough to get into the crevices of the shower door and side panels. Black gunk I had never even seen was streaming down, with very little effort from me. Best of all, no pain in my hands from my carpal tunnel syndrome."

Made of a thick microfiber, this unassuming cleaner is shaped like a long glove that fits over the blades of your ceiling fan. To use it, just apply pressure to the top and bottom and slide it off to remove dust without making a mess. You don't even have to empty it out before moving on to the other blades — it's large enough to hold a good amount of grime. In a matter of minutes, your entire fan will be clean — just dump the dust into the trash before tossing the sock into the washing machine!
At $13 (down from $18), this is the lowest price we've seen for this nifty invention since 2019. (And yes, we're wondering why we didn't know it existed then, either.)

Hundreds of Amazon customers are impressed with the Fanbladecleaner Ceiling Fan Duster. As one fan said, "Whoever invented it deserves to be a millionaire."
"I like it because it works!" raved a happy user. "Just hold the elastic end a bit open and it slides right over your blade. ... Before next blade, I shook the bag a bit and did the whole fan without stopping. ... I am thrilled with such an easy, non-messy solution."
"This actually worked perfectly," agreed another satisfied shopper. "I hate cleaning the fan above my bed because I don’t want to strip the white comforter and all the sheets and move the bed so dust doesn’t fall all over it — but this worked exactly as pictured and I couldn’t be happier ... I did lay a sheet down in case it didn’t work, but I really didn’t need to."
"Although I think this might be just a tiny bit more difficult to use then a handled duster, it is definitely worth it," said a final fan. "The dust is all contained. I was able to clean six ceiling fans within 15 minutes and simply tossed it in the washer. It cleaned up beautifully."
