Spring is here and can spring cleaning be far behind? I just found one of the very best suggestions for cleaning ceiling fans, I can’t imagine why I never thought of using a pillow case!

Ceiling Fans!

It’s that time of the year! Use your ceiling fan to help warm a room and reduce heating bills. Change the fan’s rotation to “clockwise” which will move warm air down and circulate it to make the room warmer.

From CeilingFan.org:

The ceiling fan direction in winter should be rotating clockwise or reverse. Warm air rises and gets trapped near the ceiling so when the ceiling fan direction is in reverse mode it circulates the warm air from the ceiling to the floor helping take the chill out of the air. Without a ceiling Fan the warm air would continue to be trapped near the ceiling and the floor level would continue to stay cold. The reverse mode only works if the fan is on low.

Chilling out with Ceiling Fans

Maybe it’s just me, but I can not remember which way the ceiling fan blades should turn in the summer to increase cooling. Just found it, once again, on a site about saving energy:

Fan smarts.

• Ceiling fans will only cool you, not the room, so don’t leave fans running in empty rooms.
• In the summer, make sure fan blades are turning counterclockwise, which will circulate cool air downward.
• Fans will only save you money if you set your thermostat higher as a result of fan use. Running ceiling fans and the air conditioner at full blast will only increase your energy bills.
