I have a bunch of electric fan heaters standing around, the 2000W-type. I noticed the other day that they collect a lot of vile-looking dustbunnies on their air intakes, and I'd hate to think what they spew out all day long (must be the place to be if you're a germ!).

Now I'm hoping to kill all the germs by spraying medical alcohol disinfectant into the air intakes, but how long do I need to wait before it's all evaporated? These things would become flame throwers if it isn't all dried off.

Or does anyone have a better idea (please don't say "buy another type of heater", because I can't).

Thanks.

How hot is the air coming out of the outlets? Are they used outside or in a rather well ventilated area as opposed to inside a closed area? You might not need to worry about doing anything more than scraping or brushing the dust-bunnies off. In a hot, dry environment not many germs thrive. The alcohol shouldn't hurt anything though. I'm just not certain that you need it.

Vacuum the dust bunnies out and disinfect by unplugging the heaters and then spray with Lysol spray. Allow to completely dry before you use.

You should be able to vacuum the dust bunnies out and be fine. If you really want to disinfect them, you should unplug the heater and allow to completely cool then spray with Lysol spray. Allow to completely dry before you use.

wiring a toggle change isn't the terrific way utilising the applicable change retains the radiator cool and additionally you do no longer by twist of fate pass away your fan activate and burn out the fan or run down the battery.having a toggle seitch with a gentle to tutor the fan off in water isn't a foul theory
