Cleaning Bathroom Fan Screen
Is there an easy way to access and clean the bathroom vent screen? I have reached in and vacuumed from the rooftop and from inside the bathroom, but it looks like the dust has caked onto the top of the screen.
Your wise thoughts please...

Rather than pulling the dust in, how about using canned air to blow it out? Maybe even a vacuum set on exhaust would work.

Pat: When I first read your post I thought you were suggesting to remove the cover on the exterior because you said “outside”. At any rate Fred got the info he needs.

Thanks Donna!
I tried that first, but the dust seems caked on. Gonna need more aggressive measures.

I noticed last trip my screen is loose and the fan is making some noise, so thanks for the guidance. Are there any lube points that need some greasing when this is apart?

Thank you for the information on cleaning the bathroom fan. I just cleaned ours after 3 years of full time use. It sure looks great!
