Dust-Free Bliss! An Easy Guide to Deep Cleaning Your Vornado Fan

A Vornado 660 Large Air Circulator at home

A Vornado fan, specifically the Vornado Air Circulator, is a type of fan that uses a special airflow phenomenon called “Vortex Action” to circulate air throughout a room, creating a cooling experience unlike that of typical fans.

This unique airflow is achieved through a combination of aerodynamic elements, resulting in a room-penetrating vortex or “beam” of air, which excites all the air in the room into complete and continuous motion.

The Vornado fan is designed to keep the air in constant motion, similar to a gentle breeze that is always moving through the room, making it effective even if one is not sitting directly in front of it.

I like this Air Circulator for its efficiency, long-lasting performance, ease of cleaning, and is backed by a generous warranty!

Refer to the user manual or online instructions for your specific model.

Use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to wipe down the exterior of the fan and remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated.

If the fan is particularly dirty, you may need to use a mild detergent or cleaning solution to remove stubborn stains or grime.

Use a soft cloth to carefully wipe down each blade to remove any dust that may have built up after a period of inactivity, as well as the inner parts of the unit.

A dry cloth is all you need, but it can be dampened before use if preferred.

Use the same cloth to wipe down the inside and outside of the front grill, allowing you to remove any dust and unwanted fingerprints.

Replace the front grill and any screws or clips that were removed.

Give the fan one final wipe-down to remove any final fingerprints.


It’s important to clean your Vornado fan in a well-ventilated area to prevent dust and debris from spreading.

Make sure the fan is placed on a stable and flat surface when disassembling and cleaning it to prevent it from falling and causing any damage to its components or injuring yourself.
