How do I clean the dust out of my ceiling bathroom fan?

Is this an exhaust fan? Does it have a grate screwed on top of the spinning fan?

Or is this a ceiling fan that is large with big blades out in the open?

@Hawaii_Jake It is an exhaust fan. I can’t see inside. It is a standard bathroom shower fan The outside is caked in dust. The inside might be just as bad.

Do you have a vacuum cleaner with an attachment that expands to get into corners and reaches to the ceiling? That’s what I use.

@chyna No. Great idea though.

I found a list of 3 cleaners in Alberta here.

In the past I’ve screwed the cover off because the screw was on the outside. That opens it up and I can wipe things clean with a dry cloth, then blow dust out using my blowdryer or a can of air.

I think maintenance guy is a good answer, ask now if you see him.

I think asking the maintenance man is a good idea, too.

Mine have a hinge that easily pulls down for cleaning. You could check your model for the release location. :)

I have an exhaust fan with light. When it needs cleaning, I have to take it apart to clean and lubricate.

You can try holding your vacuum cleaner hose to the grill to clean it. If you do it a few times a year you won’t have to worry about taking the grill off.

@SnipSnip I said that ^ up there. He doesn’t have one.
