Before you clean your fan, make sure you’ve unplugged the unit from the socket. You can remove the grill in the front from the tower using a screwdriver. You can also unclip the clips of the fan (if it has clips, of course). Get warm water that’s added with a cleaning solution like dish soap. Dip a washcloth in it and wring it before you clean the grill.
Take out the blade cap, so you can remove the blade of the fan. Wipe the blade using the same washcloth. Rinse with clean warm water after wiping out pet dander and dust from the crucial parts of the fan.
If you get a vintage pedestal fan, it is best if you replace the wires with new ones. Don't use the old wires if you want to save a lot of money on electricity. Replacing the wires will also ensure the appliance is safe to use inside your home. It's best to factor in the cost of hiring a professional for wire replacement when you’re buying a vintage pedestal fan.
