Dust Clogging Bath Fan Vent
If you have a bathroom ventilation
fan located in your ceiling, there is a very good chance that you will
need to clean it on a regular basis.
The longer you let these vent covers collect dust, without cleaning
them, eventually your fan motor and exhaust ducting will become filled
with dirt and dust also. Try to keep these and your fan motor as clean
as possible, this could extend the life of your ventilation fan.
Home Repair Tip - These dust clogged
bathroom fan vent covers can be cleaned, very easily with a vacuum and
if you're vacuum has a brush attachment, this can be done in a matter of
seconds.
If they become too dirty, they can easily be removed by pulling the
cover down gently from the ceiling. It will stop about 6 inches from the
ceiling and you will see that on each side of the cover, there are two
wire pieces that can be squeezed together, in order to remove the cover
the rest of the way.
Gently squeeze the two wires together. This won't
take a lot of force to remove them. The arrow points to one of the slots that the wires
slide into. The other slot is on the opposite side.
