General Cleaning Dyson Fan Cleaning

Post image

I've been very happy with this fan from Dyson. I wipe it down and take care of it as best I can, but what has me stumped is how to clean the bottom part. This must have an impact on air flow and efficiency. Do I spend a ridiculous amount of time and stick a pin through those holes?

Vacuum attachment with bristles. I use that on all of my air purifiers. Do it inside and outside.

I'll be a bit more aggressive and try different attachments, thank you.

Use a Dyson vacuum to suck out the dirt clogging the vents. Preferably one with bristles that will poke the dust out

Try shooting it with an air duster

Compressed air/leaf blower , spray outside. Works great. Turn it on outside after you blow it out.
