Ceiling – How to clean a ceiling fan with retractable fan blades

ceiling-fancleaning

I bought a few ceiling fans with retractable fan blades. After using for a few months, there is a thick layer of dusk underneath the blades at the kink. I saw a video suggesting two persons to do the job. One to extend the blades and hold on to it while the other wiping it down with a damp cloth. Is there an easier way the get the job done with just one person only and without dismantling the fan?

You could use a couple of spring loaded clamps to hold the fan blades out while you wipe them down. Just be careful that they don’t apply so much force that they break the plastic.

A manual can be found here. Unfortunately it only suggests a soft brush and no water. Nothing about extending the blades.
