Cleaning fan blades
If you need to clean a small shaded pole motor fanblade before refitting, spray some 'Easyfinish' (Advanced engineering) on it. It foams up and the grease just wipes off leaving a blade that looks as good as new.

Re: Cleaning fan blades
Its worth the effort as a dirty fan blade will on average move between 50 and 60% of the air it is designed to move which obviously effects everything else in the system.

That stuff is also good for getting grease spots off your customers nice new clean carpet, when you accidentally drop an sds drill bit on the floor.

Heres a short vid of the stuff in action on a fifteen year old blade, works just as well on greasy take away blades too.

That stuff could well be ideal for my motorcycle engine methinks.

Re: Cleaning fan blades
It'll need a good rinse with water as it makes the aluminium go a chemically if you leave it to dry on. Not a problem with fan blades though as you can't see em when they're whizzing round
Don't try that grease gobbler stuff though it'll take the paint off just like brake fluid does
