Ceiling fans have to be one of the worst things to clean, yet they're also one of the biggest dust traps in your home.

What's worse is that every time you use a dirty ceiling fan you're inevitably spraying dirt across your entire room. Gross.

Luckily, there's a really easy way to cleaning your ceiling fan and it will only cost you $3.

In a cleaning hack that keeps going viral, people are using pillowcases to clean the blades of their ceiling fans.

All you need to do is grab a pillowcase and carefully put it over the blade of the ceiling fan. Then just slide it off.

The best bit of this hack is it stops any of the dust from the fan falling down onto the floor (or you).

For an extra clean you can spray the inside of the pillowcase with a mix of vinegar and water first. This will help to move any stubborn dust or marks on the fan, especially if it hasn't been cleaned in a while.
