Now we're fans of fans, and if you are too then let's get ridiculously awesome with our wind-hurling friends
Here's some windy ways to hack your fan for great justice
So here's the thing, we heard that you like unboxings
So we got a box fan in a box and we're gonna unbox it
But first, we need an unboxing glove.
We've got a 20 by 20 inch box fan here that just needs one thing, an air filter
Pick up a cheap air filter and apply it to the back of your box fan using just clips
When turn your fan on, it'll pull the air through the filter and trap pet hair, lint, dust, and let you breathe comfortably
If you want, you can even get more creative. You know, if you don't own a box fan
You just need some bungee cord and a random filter
It'll work just fine, but it won't be as flush, but hey, options are good
Suspend a fan from an outdoor canopy with four more bungee cords
Attach a hook from one end of each bungee securely to the canopy, and then to the other end of the fan itself
Test its stability before wrapping the cord around one bungee to an outlet, and then fire it up
Now enjoy that cool breeze
What an amazing way to make a ceiling fan, without a ceiling
If you want to relive that rave you went to in the '90s, but don't care to pay $100 for a laser lighting system
Just get yourself some glow sticks and a fan
Attach the glow sticks to the base of the fan blades with zip ties.
Now make sure that they're very secure
Next, just fire that puppy up and enjoy the light show. Totally awesome man
I think I just had a transcendental experience
Did you know that it's very simple to avoid dust raining down on you from your ceiling fan?
Whether they get used a lot or not, they can collect quite a bit of dust
Especially on the sides and top and, you know, each blade
If you'd prefer to remove the dust as opposed to just moving it around in a circle, then here's how to do it
Lightly spray each fan blade with your favorite dust and shine solution
And then, slide a little pillow case over each blade
Use your hands to wipe the base and edges before firmly sliding the pillow case all the way off
And then use that pillow case again to wipe up anything that you might've missed
Now just shake it off outside, throw it in the wash, you're good to go
Do you have some unpleasant smells lingering in your home?
Or perhaps just wanna freshen things up a little bit? Here's a quick solution
Just bring some car air fresheners sticks into the mix
Now when you kick on that central heating or cooling system, that fan is gonna blow that nice fresh air
right into your face
Many people neglect their bathroom exhaust fans,
which is why they often get clogged up. Rather than using a vacuum or duster,
turn on your fan and use canned air to blast out the dust. The fan will blow the dust outside
Running fans in the colder months can actually save you up to 10% on heating costs
and it's as simple as flipping a switch
Your fan should run at a low speed, in reverse
This will gently draw the room air up, towards the ceiling and force warm air down, out towards the walls
We've talked about Audible a lot over the last few years and let me tell you why
