A Ceiling Fan Funny

There is this great trick to cleaning ceiling fans that I learned several years ago so I wouldn't get dust everywhere using a regular duster. You take a pillow case, cover the blade, and hold it tightly as you slide it off. All the dust is caught inside the pillow case and you simply shake it out outside and wash it and you are done!

Well, today was ceiling fan cleaning day. I picked a pillowcase I hadn't used before. I had just finished replacing the sheets and quilt on the bed and began the job. To my surprise, I was getting dust on the bed! I made sure to grab it tighter so no dust would escape and then went on to the other room. In the second room the same thing happened! So I decided to shake the dust down so it wasn't near the top and then it wouldn't escape. When I shook it, there was dust on the floor.
I looked into the pillow case and to my fun surprise, it was open on both ends! HA
So my lesson for today was to make sure I get RID of that one, and use one that is normal, as in closed on one end!
