<human>:  How do I clean a ceiling fan without making a mess?
<bot>: 
1. Begin by gathering supplies, such as a rag, a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, and a bottle of cleaning solution.
2. Make sure you turn off the power to the fan before you begin cleaning it.
3. Use the vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and dirt from the fan blades.
4. Dip the rag into the cleaning solution, and then wipe the blades down to remove any remaining dirt or debris.
5. Make sure to hold the rag taut while cleaning the fan blade to avoid making a mess.
6. Once all of the blades have been cleaned, wipe them down with a dry rag to remove any residual moisture.
7. Once the blades are completely dry, you can turn the power on and the fan should be successfully cleaned.
