Your exhaust fan should be cleaned at least once every 6 months. Regular cleaning ensures your exhaust fan is in good working order and effectively removes moisture from the air. When it isn’t working properly, moisture can build up and your bathroom becomes susceptible to mould! Before you attempt cleaning your fan, you’ll want to turn it off at the circuit breaker. Firstly, you’ll want to remove the vent cover and clean this with soapy water and leave it to air dry. Next get rid of the dust on the exhaust fan with a vacuum – keep a light touch so you don’t break any fan components! Your fan will likely still be dirty after you’ve vacuumed it. Go in with a damp cloth to remove the remaining grime. You could even disassemble the fan to get into all the components. With everything clean, all that’s left is to reassemble the fan and turn it back on!
