A:Answer As far as cleaning these goes a can of compressed air will do the trick, all you really need to do is keep dust from building up on them (which tends to happen with continual use). I would use compressed air on it every month or so if you use it constantly. These fans are well worth the $80+ you spend on them, we live in a 720 sq ft apartment and this thing circulates air throughout the entire unit. We put our's in front of our window A/C unit because we don't have central air and this thing makes it feel like we do have central air, never hot during the summer months. I highly recommend this product, you won't regret your purchase.
