The dryer sheet may work, but it really has to do more with the amount of static in the home itself. Once you stop using your heating system you should see less build up as the relative humitity increases in you home.

I have found one thing that does work to help slow the build up. Eagle One detail spray on the fan blades, but this really only works for blades with a smooth finish.

I part with a fair share also Rosie. Its called a spouse.

Sled...

 

Wait, I'm a spouse too, are you saying that we girls spend too much money??

 

Well that all depends on what you are spending it on.

This may need to be scientifically answered by Kobi. Maybe he has a proven theory.

Sled...

 

I see...hmmm...I definitely think we need Kobi's assistance with this perplexing problem!!

 

The water would boil and evaporate before the kettle would boil, so noone will see both water and kettle boil together, therefore no lab testing is necessary.

 

I doubt the dryer sheets would work, because I think the friction created by the fan blades moving through the air would be enough to cause a big enough static charge to attract dust.

Besides, you ignore an even more inviolate scientific law: that which is most difficult to clean (or hard to reach) will get the dirtiest!

 

Damn, I'm screwed My ceiling fans are about 12' off the ground. I have to drag a heavy 10' step ladder in to climb up and clean them! One good thing, with them so far up, it's not so noticeable when they're hairy!!

 

You obviously dont have one of these Little Giants!



Click on image to view, I so want one soooo bad!

 

Nope I don't. It wouldn't be tall enough anyhow:
The ceiling fans are too far away from a wall to use an extension type ladder, it has to be a step ladder and that one only gets 7' high, wouldn't quite reach.

 

Got to be careful with those things. I was messing with the Little Giant here at work and the damn thing slid down and crushed my toe. I was taking it down from a full ladder extension.

 

You Can Lead a Horse to Water, But a Pencil Must Be Lead

 

You must have some connections up in Humboldt County... 'Cause you be smokin' some dank buds, my brotha...

 

Apparently we need to do some scientific research regarding the fans.
I propose:
leave one fan blade alone (control)
clean one blade with water
clean one blade with regular furniture polish
clean one blade with a dryer sheet
and clean one blade with sleddogg's Eagle One detail spray

all blades would obviously be marked to identify what was used to clean it

let the fan run for 6 months continuous. Atthe end of 6 months the dust buildup would be evaulated, and the results noted.
I hypothosize the dirty will remain the dirtest, followed by therest being relatively close in dirtiness.

Now all I have to do is find some government entity to give me a $500,000 grant to complete the scientific evaluation

 

Your next you assignment is to evaluate whether molasses reall catches more flies than vinegar...

 

rewritten to mean.......the pencil lead the horse to water, but you can't make either drink.
