I don't know if they have them in the UK or not, but I know they've got them here in Houston (Jana)... have you tried the Swiffer duster? They make a handle that is extendable and it makes ceiling fans REALLY easy to clean. I don't usually like to buy disposable things like this because of the expense, but to me, this one is worth it. You can use them more than once. I can clean quite a bit with just one. Especially if you give the ceiling fans a good initial cleaning and then just a quick swipe with the swiffer duster weekly. They are electrostatic and FABULOUS! Maybe I could do a commercial....
