Hmm, guess I never shared my cleaning method on the forum like I thought I had. Anyway, if you have a basic, it’s really simple to reach back with a baby wipe (which is what I had), or a paper towel with some other type of cleaner on it, and rub each blade down. I put a popsicle stick through the honeycomb and the fan grate to hold it in place while I wiped the blades. Actually just did cleaned mine again yesterday and forgot how nice these machines can look when they’re clean!

Originally used a Qtip to hold fan blades
Final clean
These pictures are from the first time I cleaned it. It really wasn’t all that difficult, just took about 10 minutes of my time. Again, if you have a basic or even a plus, it should be easier than if you have a pro.
